Hi

I'm just in the process of ordering a n800 but wanted to check about wifi connectivity to a Hotspot in a hotel. I particularly interested in tmobile in the uk as i have an unlimited year pass so use it 3 to 4 times a week. I'm not sure if the browser authentication would work ok with the n800, it works on a pocketpc so i would hope so.

Thanks
Chris

If it's the "usual" type of authentication, i.e. that whatever URL you start with it'll redirect to a specific https: page where you enter your credentials, then it should work (I did this the other day, at the public library). However, if the authentication is done through a Java applet then it won't work. No java. (Which, incidentally, prevents me from getting through the authentication phase with my netbank. )

I used to use the 770 with t-mobile hotspots in USA, web authentication worked, I see no reason why n800 would be different. I no longer have t-mobile hot spots though, so I can not test.

Hi, I do connect to my netbank (OpenBank) using my 770. It needs java installed.

NO, I DO NOT. Sorry for the mistake, but it doesn't need java installed.

Holy smokes man..! This is excellent news. Installed without a hitch on my N800, but no java still. Does it need the minimo browser, or is it for the 770 opera only (not n800 opera)? It doesn't show up in the plugin list for opera (which doesn't seem to have a way of scan for new plugins either)

Sorry man. I was confused. My bank doesn't need java applets. I connect to it just with my flash and javascript browser capabilities. Sorry.
