Yes, that's why I have added a public DNS server (google) to resolv.conf. I have not removed the first nameserver (127.0.0.1). Then, if it fails, it goes to google's DNS (8.8.8.8) which should work for any ISP and connection.
I'll look for more info about dnsmasq.

now, why the dnsmasq on your device doesn't work properly is a whole other story
edit:
Rob1n has already posted instructions in this thread on how to best set custom nameservers.

If adding to that file a DNS server from my ISP solves the problem (or an open DNS server), then I cannot be sure about who is responsible. Can you?
127.0.0.1 should not be the problem since I have that one in my
resolv.conf too and no problems going to internet.
Although I do not use the same ISP on PC and N900.
