I think the data plan at Wind is $35 if I am not mistaken . And Nokia Canada will not sell the N900 as of yesterday's news from Wind.

Wind is certainly not the cheapest tetherable Internet in Canada.
That being said, it is the only 3G compatible with the N900 currently available in Canada.

If you live in Toronto, Calgary or Edmonton. And some people do, or so I hear.

Up to now I never understood why anyone would

Ok, I can't resist

1. make sure that you are using latest sendxmpp (I have sendxmpp 1.20)

2. add your Google Talk account info to the .sendxmpprc file:
your_name@gmail.com;talk.google.com your_password

3. use the following command to send message to Google Talk user someone@gmail.com:
$ echo "GTalk test" | sendxmpp -t -u your_name -o gmail.com someone

Example:
.sendxmpprc: john@gmail.com;talk.google.com password

$ echo "GTalk test" | sendxmpp -t -u john -o gmail.com someone
Which doesn't give an error, but how do I get the message to my phone? I created a new IM account using the gmail address that I sent the message to, but what now?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but seeing as it's high on google, I thought it might be useful for newcomers to know that I've discovered that you can get around the speakout proxy and get full internet by either making a ssh tunnel or a vpn connection on port 53 (usually used for DNS)!
You just need to change your resolv.conf to an external dns server (like 8.8.8.8).

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.

I followed the instructions here for Windows 7: http://myn900.wordpress.com/2010/08/...t-3-bluetooth/

... and the N900 succesfully pairs with the my laptop but when I click "Connect to the internet" in Step 3, it says "SIM card is missing. Insert SIM card and try again".

I've tried changing the "Connect to Internet" options (in Tools > Options) to various things like:

* Rogers (Internet Tethering)
* Rogers (Rogers Internet)
* Manual:
- Access point: goam.com
- User name: wapuser1
- Password: wap
- Additional initalisation commands: (not sure? I left this blank)

... but none of the above work. It still says I'm missing a SIM card.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks in advance!

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 enough, if I connect via USB "PC Suite Mode" and then click "Connect to Internet", it allows me to connect (it says "Connected to Rogers") but when I try to open any website, it times out.
