Re: I think I found the cheapest tetherable internet in Canada - and its prepaid

It doesn't work anymore by the way. I wouldn't recommend Speakout Wireless anymore - especially since they've severely limited their data plan.

Damn, I just tried it downtown with a perfect signal and it still doesn't work (even through USB cable). :(

Re: I think I found the cheapest tetherable internet in Canada - and its prepaid

Yes, it is connected via Speakout (the connection is called "Rogers Internet"), although I must admit I don't have a very good signal right now so the connection is a little flaky.

Interestingly...

Re: I think I found the cheapest tetherable internet in Canada - and its prepaid

Hi there,

Can anybody explain step-by-step how they got Speakout bluetooth tethering to work on their N900? It doesn't work at all for me. :(

Re: OS2008 v. 2.2007.51-3 impressions?

Yikes, this is exactly why I started this thread. I have a 16GB SDHC too (although a different brand). Is anyone else experiencing this kind of thing? :/

Thanks for the tip, cintra...

After changing the User Name (on the main page) to "myemail@sip.sightspeed.com", I get "Authentication Error" instead of "Network Error".

So I'm guessing I'm...

Re: video calls

Oh, okay. Nuts! If only we could get it working with SightSpeed - their video implementation blows Skype & Gizmo out of the water (although their GUI could do with some work).

Re: Skype on N800 OS2008 without dropped calls?

Okay, thanks everyone. It must have been because when I tested it, OS2008 was still in beta.

Pity there's no video though. Seems kinda silly how you can't use the built-in webcam.

Thanks again

Skype on N800 OS2008 without dropped calls?

I tried OS2008 a while back (it may have been the beta) and it dropped calls between 2 - 30 seconds. For me, a defective Skype is a deal-breaker for switching to OS2008.
