When i woke up, i wondered that why the alarm of the phone did not turn on. I checked the phone and i saw a black screen. The phone was not charging at all.
hi do you have any problems with this phone ? i have it one week and i notice the drop calls all the time men i try to change the phone from 3g to dual mode and some thing all the time i hope still is because they upgrading the 3g network because the 3g speed is make me sick sometime i got 350kb sometimes 550kb and the first and second days i have 1mb speed before i have samsung omnia hd i8910 and was excelent never this problems i bought this phone because of 3g network but i can evan use the skype with this speed
the symptoms are similar to the other people wrote here. when i connect to charger i see yellow light lit constantly, later on sometimes it start blinking and after a while it stops.
i informed amazon about that problem. they offered me two options, 1) 10% discount and keep the phone as it is 2) full refund.
overall, i have been a nokia user for 10 years. but i think this will be my last nokia phone.
actually, i suspected due to delays of the launch of N900 that something would be wrong with this phone. but i wanted it so much and took the risk and bought the phone.
now i am returning by far the worst phone that i have bought.

I have the even more plus prepaid plan. N900 works perfect with internet. I did a few speed tests and average around 3MBit. I have seen it as high as 7.8Mbit. I think they did the 11Mbit upgrade in my area already.

KB/S. I did it at work where there is no wifi. I was also streaming hulu in HD tethered to my computer last night when I forgot to pay my cable bill and it was disconnected.

I read that with a standard prepaid card, you get unlimited T-Zones. Does that mean, if I change the APN like the Iphone people are doing with their ''hack'' that I can achieve the same?

I was going to try the sidekick data only prepaid plan but got to thinking what if it didn't work? So I got the even more plus unlimited everything plan. No use getting a 600+ phone and can't fully use it. and with t-mobile 3G its spotty just really depends on where you live. Where I stay its fine not fast as sprint but being able to talk and use data where I live is a plus for me. And long time ago when I had my monthly sidekick data only plan I used my nokia n95 8gb all the time with it no problems but never tried with the prepaid plan. I think if anybody have problems getting data to work should call 611 on the handset and they should able to fix it.

Just a quick update for you all.
Setup my N900 on TMobile *pay as you go*. Switched to the Sidekick plan. Set the proxy to my Ubuntu box running squid.
Went to testmy.net, did the download test and got around 680kbps (about my max upload on my cable connection) with 3.5G showing.
So I can confirm prepaid works at 3G levels if using a proxy, although limit to the proxy upload.
