[Cialug] Nokia N900 Linux Phone

[Tom Pohl]

I'm sending this message from my iPod touch through my Pre over wifi  
from rural Wisconsin while my Nokia n800 downloads satellite maps and  
my wife googles local attractions!

I had Bluetooth tethering working on my laptop the first day I had the  
phone (rooting the phone is straight forward). I now do wifi tethering  
with my-tether mostly because BT tethering was error prone.
