i hope so,

and also hope that this $7/month that will be $10/month on the 6th of march also support xHTML which is the smallest data transfer the n900 can support.

WAP browsing is supported in 5800 xm which is also a smartphone like n900, i still doubt it, coz until now, im cracking wap browsing on my n97 without using a data plan.

The only catch is that everything has to go through a http proxy - fine for most browsing though. (no voip/im people!)

The best part about this deal is that SpeakOut credit lasts 365 days - so if you travel to Canada a few times a year, you can activate and deactivate the internet as required - a $25 recharge would cover you for 3x30 day blocks spread over a year.

I never so much as saw a contract or any terms of use or anything (for the phone or the internet) - i just rang up and literally said "can I disconnect the browsing service at anytime" she said "yes, do you want me to set it up for you", I said "yes" she said "restart your phone in 15 minutes".

My speed is limited because the MPX220 is only gprs, but apparently the goam.com APN supports full 3G speed according to howardforums.

EDIT: they may be increasing it to $10 next year - still a bargain in my books
no voip/im, need to use imo then

So guys, what's the verdict? Finally got my N900 today. Looks good on wifi, how's it work on SpeakOut? Or is the Rogers Pay as You Go better?

Well,dropping by a Rogers store answered that question. They only allow Rogers phones on their plans. So I took the plunge & got a SpeakOut phone.

SpeakOut is incredibly easy to set up as a phone, works great. The data escapes me though. The customer service girl said I have to dial 0 to start it, but that
gives an invalid # error. I noticed that I now have a Rogers connection available, so I used it, but can't browse to any sites. The Dataplan Monitor widget shows bytes, but pages arent being served. Couldnthat be the WAP?

Any help greatly appreciated. TX

@grog

Have you verified you've got the correct APN settings on the N900? That's all I can think of, really..

I'm curious -- did you have to port your phone number over to SpeakOut to get this all set up, or does there seem to be a way to use them for data without having to go through all that?
