And a PPS!
Firstly I found a picture of an N800 with the bluetooth GPS thingie

OK further searching got me a little bit clued up on amongst other things
WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) "hotspots" and free access

try these wikis and other sites

that last one as Posted by Sam Churchill on Saturday, March 31st, 2007
says
Nokia & Sony: Free WiFi for Webtablets
EarthLink is offering FREE internet service for Nokia N800 users on EarthLink’s municipal Wi-Fi networks
until January 1st, 2008.

.........
The EarthLink Wi-Fi network is currently available in the following cities:
Anaheim
Corpus Christi
Milpitas
New Orleans
Philadelphia
In my book it is pretty "cheesy" that Philly got it early!
But I guess that is par for the course
We are completely brassed off by the incessant Verizon television commercials from all the New York TV stations for their possibly brilliant
FIOS Fibre Optic Internet Service. but can we get it in the Newark area . No bloody way
All very exciting I find what say all of you???
