I also checked my bill, they dont even monitor KB's on unlimited plans
Here's the details from my Cingular bill (on-line):

05/14 07:54 AM Internet/MEdia Net 24KB
05/13 04:01 PM Internet/MEdia Net 179KB
05/13 03:58 PM Internet/MEdia Net 159KB
05/13 03:58 PM Internet/MEdia Net 4KB


You don't suppose that they have a log of my activity somewhere? Maybe they just make that stuff up?

No doubt they cannot share their logs with anyone other than themselves without some kind of court order. That seems to be standard practice now-a-days. The dudes in suites from agencies with 3 letter acryonyms seem to be pretty familiar with what papers they do & don't need, at least in my experience.

I'd be interested in a citation of the law or FCC ruling or some such thing that tells an ISP that they cannot log IP addresses, bytes, number of packets, etc. on their own networks, and use that data to enforce the TOS that their customers signed? (not voice conversations or packet contents, just the envelope that routes the data.)

It sounds like you've done the right things so far: pair the phone and N800, flag the N800 as trusted on the phone then surf the web. I did find bug #1217 which may be the cause of your problem, give it a go and see if it makes any difference.

To change details...

1. Go into Control Panel -> Connectivity, press Connections button
2. Select your Bluetooth phone connection then Edit button
3. Next
4. Change username, password and address ("Access point name" in dialog) as per bug #1217
5. Finish

Hope it helps.

EDIT: I need to learn to type faster...
I don't understand. Those were already my settings, and there's not an Address field, rather a Domain and Access Point name. I'm still confused, and the N800 is still not connecting

i followed this tutorial and have had no issues when linking the n800 to my phone.

http://www.tabletcorner.com/nokia770/guides/razr.html

when i did set it up, i did not connect to the internet, intentionally. the phone did register as 'GPRS Connnected' on the screen, though. because i have flashed the device a few times, i have had the opportunity to do this a few times, and each time it has worked.

No luck for me. Oh well. I quit. Maybe the fact that I have an 8525 and/or upgraded to the new AT&T software has affected the connectivity. But hey, I can connect at home...where I already am connected to my laptop

I believe Cingular does monitor total monthly usage (even they though they may not report in on your bill). If you use too much, they get suspicious.

Wow, thanks dude. I was having similar problems with my SLVR L7, changing the address and all solved it and everything. I have one of the cheaper media net bundles and now I can actually put it to some use when i'm on the road and there aren't any hotels around, lol. Thanks again.

Damn, I love my n800!
