The number is printed on the sticker inside of the phone under the battery. It should be printed on the large sticker on the outside of the box.
from what I have read, at&t doesn't recognize the phone and therefore the non-smartphone plans have worked. if not i will get 30 dollar unlimited. but it is def worth the try.

I don't think it's all that tolerable at all. Maybe for simple blots, forums, or the basic Google search. But once you get outside of that, it's totally horrible. I went to ford.com just to try it out, and it took sometimes 3-5 minutes to fully download a page. Granted the auto company websites are sometimes pretty flash heavy, but I wouldn't say overall that it's tolerable really. It's a painful experience. Reminds me of dialup from 15 years ago.

Edge would be way better than dialup.... but back in the day with dialup I would get a constant 3 to 4k a sec. So if I downloaded something it would get done.
Edge is like this... one time a click a site and pop.. it opens quick downloading 8k or more a sec. Next time I click edge can't even find the page.. and gives me a lost connection.
I wish there was a way to make it get a steady connection.

Don't buy a truck online with your phone 
I long for 3G, but man, EDGE sure is nice after so long with a tablet that had only WiFi.
Being able to look stuff up on Wikipedia when in a conversation at a friend's house or being able to check out a travel deals website that I see on a billboard, or chatting on IRC while riding the bus, or uploading a picture from a party to facebook while still at the party... That's just so nice.

I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of EDGE on the N900--websites load and render surprisingly quickly. But I'm comparing my experience now to my experience with the N800 BT-tethered to an EDGE phone, so the difference could be explained by improvements in hardware and no longer being dependent on a second device.
My guess is that the answer to your question depends on your prior experience, your expectations, and your network coverage.

IMPORTANT: by new rules (from Sep 06, 2009) any smartphones (even you didn't get it from att) have to have $30 unlimited dataplan even if you don't want to use any dataplan!
I accidentally have got this plan in September. Fortunately than I had contract less than 30 days and I cancel it.... Later I reconnect for another one.

And really, is it necessary to watch hulu on a phone?
I realize there is a certain cool factor/geek cred to be had, but life without it will go on.

1) I don't consider it a phone anymore I would consider the n800 a phone.
2) Hulu on N900 [we''ll see if Flash 10 makes it usable) + Tv Out = Sweet!
