Tried the instructions, and thus far with my tab 7.0 plus i can get it pair, even tether ... just no magic.

Its been a rough set of hours trying to get the n900 to tether at all and it saddens me that such an open device has to be so damned hard to setup. My g2 with any custom rom on it tethers in less than a few minutes. Yet the n900 barely [ad-hoc only] tethers wifi and bluetooth is a hit or miss nightmare of configs and options. Was trying to get some new use out of an old device but after nearly six hours of fiddling with it i am pretty sure its going back to the box of exhibits. Seems the G2 won again ... if there comes a time when effective and easy tethering becomes an option i will revisit the device. Thanks for the efforrs put forth though on all parts.
