Re: Does the n900 work well with T-mobile Prepaid

Web day passes have been messed up for a while, but if you go directly to m.web2go.com in the browser, and then go to My Account, you should get an option to buy a day pass.

Re: Cannot access T-Mobile internet - Bad Request

I'm also getting this. I use the internet2.voicestream.com APN.

Odd thing is, if I use microb they try to sell me a tethering plan, but if I use Firefox I get the bad request error.

Re: n900 as wiimote whiteboard marker

Re: Does the n900 work well with T-mobile Prepaid

Yesterday they started offering some plans for prepaid plans. I'm using the $1.50 unlimited day pass plan. I can access pretty much anything, even stuff that didn't work with the Sidekick plan, like...

Re: Now that I have an N900 I need to find a use for the N810.

I put easy debian on mine and use it as a low-power SSH tunnel and proxy server so I can make use of the T-Mobile prepaid Sidekick plan and access my desktop from my N900.

Re: VNC through SSH on the N900

AFAIK they don't make any native SSH servers for windows. You'll either have to use a Linux compatibility layer like Cygwin, or just put Linux on a spate computer and run the tunnel off of that. Keep...

Re: Bluetooth Keyboard for N810?

Install the package called "Pidgin protocols plugin for Conversations and Contacts" from extras. That'll let you use Yahoo with conversations.
