I thought you had to be a licensed chemist to sell tablets? 
I agree in principle though, and hope the internal data modem is a total blackbox and can be totally 100% disabled if required and does not prevent the device from being used without it.

tso, its a basic crappy o2 ice. kinda nice little 3g thing.
I've had it connected once i believe right at the start, but i ddnt do anything beyond novelty.
Being sat in Berlin with no support channels available made the task extremely difficult.
Theres probably a really easy way to do it, but I dont understand which hsdpbpapapdpdpapeppedcha mode to use or which number to call or ports needed to open up and stuff.
I managed to get the phone linked and my tablet knew who it was but i could not get beyond this so just carried on munching kfc and etching my thoughts and observations of berlins' diverse culture

I am so happy that finally I can buy a Nokia tablet that has full cellphone capability.
Also, its so funny to hear some of you say like Thesandlord that you want 3G however you dont want voice calling because then you are locked into a carrier. With 3G you are also locked into a carrier.
As Ive said before in other threads, voice calling is coming. One thing for sure is that voice calling on the Nokia tablet will result in an increase in market share that might be 10 or 100 fold.
I think that most of you see the tablet as a niche techie device and you don't want to be carrying around something that lets say, Paris Hilton, will also be carrying around. Unfortunately for those types, Nokia looks at it from a bottom line, marketshare and dollars perpective and wants as many people as possible to buy one including your teenage niece and also Paris Hilton.
Thats right, Nokia wants Paris Hilton to buy the next release of the tablet.
Thats why they have been focusing on enhancements such as all the latest "ease of use" stuff found in this past release of the OS.

In the end, someday, the technology created with the tablets will of course end up in mainstream devices, but I'm almost certain that Paris Hilton will not buy the next generation (N900 or whatever).

As long as I can still load Deblet. If the 3G stuff prevents changing OS's I'll be thoroughly pissed and sell all my tablets.
I understand if it somethings don't work like 3G in Debian. But if it blocks me from doing things I can already do with my n800.

1) I will be paying a lot more for functionality I won't use.
2) It won't work on the carrier of my choice.
3) It will lead to restrictions in what we can do with the tablet.
If you don't understand why people don't want HSPA, don't just assume their reason is stupid and try to tell them they're wrong.

its probably to late to tell you this, but from what i can tell the tablet holds settings in its phone connectivity wizard for o2...
