for the settings of ur t-mo... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...obile+settings

I think your post has too many "!!!!!!" in it.

Can you explain step by step on how you proceed to connect to the Wifi network? Can you see the T-Mo network reception bar?

More information is needed for us to help you out buddy.
Please be specific and accurate on your problems.

Sorry for the "!!!"
I do see the T-Mo network reception bar (and I do have the APN. epc.tmobile.com) but when I try to open the web ,Ovi Store,Maemo Select nothing happens it just stays blank.
and when I try to connect to wi-fi it cannot find any network (and I can find at least 8 + my router that is working on a PC and a Mac and 2 iPhones)
Thanks!

What sort of encryption are the connections using? I know when i got my n900 i could not connect to wifi that used WPA encryption but i could connect to wifi using WPA2 encryption. Might try changing encryption type (even try removing all encryption just to make sure ur wifi antenna is working).

As for your tmobile problem, i had to give tmobile customer service a call when i bought my phone. I had the correct setting in the phone but they had messed up on my account and thats what prevented me from connecting to their data network.

I can't find any networks when I set up new connection.
That means that the wifi antenna is not working??

So the "Select connection" dialog remains blank and does not list anything, though you have a SIM card inserted so at least the Mobile Internet of your phone provider should be displayed?
Hmm, that's bad. *Might* be a hardware issue.

I think the best way - make zero reset. You need flash mmc & firmware.
Begin life with N900 from blank page

Hi Sebypoly,

I'll try to help, but you'll have to read through this long post.

First off, try to re-flash the eMMC and the firmware of your N900. The steps are easy and are described here.

Note that after you re-flash the eMMC (the whole memory module, so to speak), you should reflash the device with the latest firmware. So, you'll get the update, and this will also reset the device, so you should make a backup of your important data to your computer.

After this, start the N900, and click on the status bar. (The little area at the top left which shows the time, battery, etc.) Then, click on "Internet Connection". After a few seconds, it should list all available Wi-Fi networks, and also the T-Mobile access point.

If the T-Mobile one doesn't work, you should contact T-Mobile. (Note that it may not be enabled by them by default.)
If no Wi-Fi shows up, you should try to set it up manually from Settings/Internet connections.

If you tried all the steps above and it still doesn't work, you have no other choice but to return the device to a Nokia center and ask them to replace or repair your faulty N900.

This is not good. The first thing a new user has to do is reflash the device? Whew.

sebypoly, maybe you should have a customer service person take a look first...
