thanks
at the moment it is only working on 2.5g with my telstra next g sim, but skype calls still seem ok, not too fussed about 3 g as I mainly use it for skype at work and home where I have a good wifi.

I'm with 3 and their 3g connection works fine. I had to search for the correct settings which I found here: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...9361#r12649361

Try googling Virgin 3g settings Australia and see what comes up.
Thanks, I have changed the time zone, but I think the intial country setup is where skype gets its country calling codes from? I dont know for sure though as I have not heard how you dial with Skype in countries where it has been released.

Cheers

i brought mine off ebay for $1000. feel kinda stupid now, you all got it alot cheaper. i just didnt wanna wait any longer

btw where do you go to put in these settings?
I have heard Optus is the best bet for the N900 here, I am just stuck with 12 more months for Telstra, have a 49 cap and monthly data 5gb for $89

I paid $715 off ebay,
