According to CES 2008 Report, Boingo Wireless announced that Boingo Mobile is now available for selected Nokia mobile phones. With the addition of Boingo Mobile, selected Nokia mobile phones and Internet Tablets can automatically connect to the Boingo wireless network of hotspots across the world for only USD 7.95 - EUR 5.95 - GBP 3.95 per month. For a limited time, people who sign up for this internet service will receive the first month free.

so how will the speed be for Boingo mobile compared to the laptop version?? is it still high speed for us Nokia tablet users??
...thinking of how to get cheap wi-fi for some upcoming travels where i'll be in and out of multiple airports...

Thanx!

The subscriber account agreement is vague. It seems like they can just cancel the account if you do something they deem 'objectionable'.

On behalf of Boingo:

The Internet access Boingo provides doesn't differentiate between handsets, tablets or laptops. The throughput for handsets & tablets is the same as for laptops; there is no device-specific throttling of bandwidth. The cost differential between Boingo Mobile accounts ($7.95) and Boingo's laptop accounts ($21.95 for Boingo Unlimited and $39 for Boingo Global) is based on the significant difference in volume of data passed in an average session.

Boingo is in the business of providing Internet access to users, not canceling users' accounts. The "objectionable" language in the customer agreement is a legal catch-all for truly objectionable behavior not specified -- i.e., putting a laundry list of 1,000 things that are truly objectionable doesn't meet anyone's purposes and still gives those living and computing in gray areas room to claim they weren't participating in any of the specifically named activities.

so in theory it should be possible, if I live near a boingo hotspot, to use the n800 as a wireless router and have a 5.95€ month internet connection?

There was a free month offer lately too no ? but I can not find where I've found it ...
