Or would 02 be able to tell automatically that I am using my sim in a full sized internet tablet and say my data allowance does not apply?

Or does the Tab use a different type of data from the N900? For example if I have unlimited blackberry tariff, if I stick the sim in an N900 and use the internet I would be charged for it because the blackberry tariff only applies to blackberries.

If I get the Tab I don't want to have to pay for two data allowances, especially since the data allowed on the Tab tariffs I have seen have been quite low but at high monthly cost.

Of course if I can use my 02 sim in the Tab I would still have to work out a way to easily and conveniently pick up my calls.

That's a good question, and one that I can't answer with certainty. However I would guess that you would be able to use the SIM in your Tab with little concern (unless the usage agreement specifically forbids it, or is otherwise tied to the N900).

Of course making/placing calls is another matter. Depending on your phone frequency, the Tab may be less convenient to use in this regard.

Another option is to do a USB/BT tether for mobile access on the Tab. I hear that some are having trouble using the N900 as a WiFi hotspot.
