Questions Regarding The Nokia N800 and Tethering

Filed under: gadgets,nokia - 22 Aug 2007

In my post comparing the Nokia N800 to an Apple iPhone, I got an interesting question I thought was worth answering in a blog post:
The actual technique of connecting wireless away from home. That is what I need to know now to buy. You know, I am 60 but pc savvy “to a certain point”. My questions are:

Do I have to buy a special phone or subscribe to a certain phone provider?
Can I use it with any bluetooth enabled phone? How?
Am I charged for additional connectivity time?
I already use a wireless card from AT&T to connect via cell phone signals with my laptop. Can I use that same service???? How?

Answers after the jump.
