What APN is used with T-Mobile prepaid? What would be a good option for someone who texts a lot, uses internet a lot, and doesn't use a lot of minutes?
I was thinking T-Mobile prepaid with skype/google voice, for data and calls. But that leaves the Text Messaging out.
Right now I have Unlimited data, unlimited text, and 500 mins for 60$ a month.
Thanks

Can we get a list of the sites that you can visit on tmobile prepaid and paid without data? Here are a couple I know of, and I'm sure there are more:
t-mobile.com
m.espn.go.com/wireless/
m.yahoo.com
news.bbc.co.uk/low

Not the actual speed, but you get the idea!
If you referring to 14 min dl an 800 MB movie. I think that is absolutely fine. Firstly, it takes time to dl any movie, using emule/desktop/cable link, a movie dl takes a couple of weeks on and off, that is fine. You wnat it and want it now, then pay netflex or something like that. If you dont want to pay for it, it takes time.
2nd, my priority to use N900 is 'long distance phone use' and 3G/3.5G solved my needs more than adequately. Surf net faster is just a bonus for me.
3rd, instead of dl, I stream, be it 800 MB or 2.5 G movie, showtime starts less than 15 second! All from here LiveTV in my signature
Problem with 2G is Skype simply cannot work.

Hey bunanson thanks for the info! I got tor setup and that did the trick, whooo! Although it is extremely slow (as TOR always is). Is it possible to setup a proxy on one's home PC and then route the N900 through that instead to speed things up?

I tried to set up proxy, on and off, for a couple of week, get NOWHERE. I know, I know, it is very easy, but, I cant get it, and i just cannot get it. I appreciate if some guru takes the time to write it out, step by step, TIA
