You will also get an unsuported device, with quite a few of OS annoyances... there's a thread here that talks a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of owning an N900 I strongly suggest you read that first before making a decision..I believe the thread that I am talking about was created by etoyo
I don't quite understand what you mean, but there are several ways to network your N900 directly with the laptop and share an internet connection, but they'll take a little work to set up, you can't do it straight out of the box.
I meant that as with laptop,you can configure router settings of your pc with laptop and use internet on laptop anywhere regardless of range of router.Its called 'wireless internet' I guess.

Within next few hours I will have N900 in my hands,I have no LOVE for any other mobile,but I will still check that post.
Thanks for your reply I know there are some drawbacks in this device,let me check again.

Is this the one you are talking about? Please reply asap.

Where some device is acting as a router (and typically DHCP server, possibly caching DNS server), and has some other network connectivity to share.
You can have a PC/laptop with a WiFi card act as an access point (usually only in Ad-hoc mode, some combinations of OS/card/driver may allow master mode), but then you would need wired connectivity on the laptop, or two network interfaces.
If you get the PC/laptop side configured correctly, the N900 should be able to use anything possible.
But, you need to describe in more detail *exactly* what you want to do, and terms like "wireless internet" are not sufficiently exact ....
In short, I don't think what you have described so far is possible at all, with any combination of devices, but it may just be that you haven't described it well enough.
You can also look into USB-networking, where you connection share over the USB connection between N900 and computer.
It's slightly hard to setup properly, but can be used to get internet(/voip whatever) on your n900 from your laptop or desktop.
