Sure it is. one N800 connects to the phone via bluetooth and the two N800s connect to each other via wifi ad hoc mode and the N800 with the phone connection enables internet connection sharing.
I would know how to do this if the N800s were Win XP machines but I don't know how to do it in Linux or if the N800 comes with all the software magic required.
Hint: first set up a ad hoc network with Windows and have each N800 join it. You should not need the Windows machine after that if you set the N800s to remember the network setting when you connect.
Like I said above, I don't know if the N800s will share internet at this point or if you need to take further action. I'm not really a Linux guy.
Good luck!
Edit: Sorry I thought I was posting after #3. My tip to get into ad hoc mode is still valid...
