How to connect your tablet to the internet using a mobile phone
The Nokia N800 and N810 internet tablets can connect to the internet by two main methods: through a wi-fi / WLAN connection (for example a wi-fi router in your home), or through certain mobile phones (cell phones). The tablets can use phones which are Bluetooth compatible and use the DUN (Dial-Up Networking) Bluetooth profile. These phones do not have to be made by Nokia. If you're unsure about whether your phone is compatible, check the official technical specifications (you can find these tech specs on the manufacturer's website and possibly in the phone's manual too).
Bluetooth is a short range wireless standard intended for phones and other gadgets that are within about 10 metres (10 yards) of each other. It lets them exchange information, share an internet connection and many other things.
Connecting the N800 or N810 to the internet through your phone means you can use the tablet online anywhere that your phone can get a signal, which makes it much more portable. However, it will probably be significantly slower than using it through Wi-Fi, though speed can vary greatly from phone network to phone network. Some phone networks let you connect to the internet at very high speeds, perhaps faster than your home internet connection, while other networks only let you connect at very slow speeds. Here's a guide to the most common kinds of mobile phone networks available at the moment:
- 2G - The slowest current phone networks use standards called GSM or CDMA, which are also known as 2G.
- 2.5G - Slightly faster than these is a network standard called EDGE, which is also known as 2.5G.
- 3G - Even faster are 3G networks, which are also called WCDMA or UMTS.
- 3.5G - Fastest of all at the moment are 3.5G networks which use standards such as HSDPA.
To use a particular kind of network, you have to have a phone compatible with it, for example, to use a 3G network you need a 3G or better phone. Phones are compatible with slower networks too, so a 3G phone will switch to slower 2G mode when there's no 3G network available.
kiss my nuts bitch and suck my ass----thank you come again
Using more than one phone with your tablet
You can access the internet on your tablet through several different phones if you wish. First of all, you need to pair each phone using the process described above. Then you need to select which phone you wish to use from the Control Panel's Phone section.

Can I use the tablet through my phone while overseas?
You may technically be able to access the internet through your phone while abroad, but it will almost certainly cost a lot of money to do so.
Roaming charges on phone networks worldwide are stupidly high, and it's best to completely avoid using your mobile phone while abroad. If you have an unlocked phone, you might want to consider buying a prepaid SIM card locally while overseas and using that instead (if the prepaid SIM card allows data usage, some of them don't).
Phone network deals that allow unlimited internet access usually don't work overseas.
Alternatively, try to find a public Wi-Fi hotspot that you can use with the tablet instead. Many public places such as hotels, libraries, cafes and even trains offer Wi-Fi hotspots. Some of them are free, some of them charge a modest fee, while others are very expensive. Always ask a member of staff for more details before trying to use a public wi-fi hotspot.
