The first 300 registered attendees at the Maemo Summit received one for a 6 month loan. Then there were also a few pre-production units provided to some folks even earlier.

I'm not in any of those groups, but this is the situation as I understand it.

Has anybody found a solution for this!
I don't know how can this sell if the PC - MODEM / internet capabilities are so limited!

N900 is good to have all the features, but how do one survive without being able to hook up internet on N900 with a PC / notebook!

This is discouraging for me being a first time NOKIA user.

Please HELPPPPPPPP Nokia?!?!

Just got my N900 and browsing around for information. This site looked great.

Regarding the internet connection I am using the PC-Suite 7.1.40.6 and the phone is version 2.2009.51-1 and it is working OK. I am actually posting this reply using the Windows XP PC connected to web via the N900.

Connect the N900 with the USB cable CA-101. Choose "PC-Suite mode" on the phone.

Start the PC-Suite on the PC (if not automatically). Choose "N900 (PC-Suite Mode)" in the top left corner. OBS! Your phone could have another name.

Click the "Connect to internet" (Green circle with two arrows).

You will get a window saying "One touch access" and you're done.

The speed on my PC is 460kbps..

Good luck!

Again I have to ask. Why did they offer this phone when even their software is not supported. Can't even use one of the features, tethering, of this phone.

What were they thinking

PC Suite was designed for Symbian phones, not Maemo. The N900 is capable of tethering quite happily using the software as described by one user above: are you not able to get the same result or missed the point?

I never use PC Suite to tether, neither Symbian, Maemo nor Sony Ericsson and Samsung dumbphone (yes, they can tether)

Just use the built in Windows network menu to create a new Dial Up Connection, select the modem (N900 USB or N900 Bluetooth), enter the phone number, username and password, and any extra init string required (all are carrier specific). Change port speed if necesary and you are all set.
