You mean in terms of needing a fix? Find someone with a bluetooth phone and beg!
But really... I'm always up for a game of Mahjong.

You can:
1. Cry about the lack of wifi in that place
2. Scream at those who have locked wlan
3. Set up a BT modem via mobile operator setup wizard so it will connect through your (net enabled) phone.

At those times (with no wi-fi) I can at least start the pdf reader with the bus traffic table.. ;-)

My own solution: Pay Verizon Wireless an additional $59.99/mo for Broadband Access Connection (tethering to my Bluetooth phone). Benchmarking with EV-DO gives me 617 kbps down, 82 kbps up (versus 1963/643 on 802.11g WiFi). Yeah, the bill sucks, but I'm addicted. It'll eventually get cheaper, like DSL did.

Hi.
I'm curious about the prices people need to pay for their mobile Internet access around the world. 60 dollars a month was quoted above, and it seems very expensive to me. Here in Finland, I have a bog standard deal with no monthly fee and about 1.5 euros/megabyte. Unlimited 3G/EDGE/GPRS access is about ten euros.
I consider my N800 to be always connected to the Internet, one way or another.

Here in Slovenia with Vodafone operator it costs: first megabyte is 4.2euros after first it cost's 0.42euros/megabyte and if you want unlimited connection you have to pay 21€ per month and on Vodafone we only have EDGE/GPRS, for 3G I would have to change operator, but EDGE is enough for now as I usually find Wi-fi, which is now on every other corner as you walk through town.
Best regards, DK

In the UK the mobile networks gouge you on internet access - the best deal by far is currently T-Mobile with unlimited internet access (excluding VoIP) for about £12.50/month but this is on top of a £20 monthly voice plan, locked in for 18 months...
