It would be a shame if you couldn't tether it to the N900.

For sure it isn't due to signal strength, because the two devices were close, and at the same distance of about 20cm the E51 had a perfect reception. And the mobilehotspot signal was not encrypted.

With a wifi scanner app on the Tab I'm able to see the mobilehotspot network, with a fairly strong signal, but when I press the widget on the app to connect, I am brought to the android wifi setup menu, where the mobilehotspot is lacking. When I manually enter the ssid, the Tab reports that the network isn't there.
