The move towards mobile hot spots is big, and allows Americans to use them with any device of their choosing to avoid high carrier costs. You may be new to this, but I consider myself a pioneer in that regard.

If you had a Nokia messaging account you would know that you can't register it to multiple phones without a reinstall of the client software on the device. What do you think that second screen in the e-mail setup is....connecting to nokia servers checking for services... it is checking if you have a nokia messaging account and if it is registered to another device.
If you knew me, you wouldn't talk such useless chatter. I covered Nokia Messaging from its early beginnings (http://www.symbian-freak.com/downloa...l_for_free.htm), am one of the original Nokia Email beta testers, and have been using Nokia Messaging since its original inception all the way until today. I DO have a Nokia Messaging account, have for nearly almost two years, and have used it on about a dozen devices so far. I won't speculate on your knowledge of Nokia Messaging, but be clear that it isn't foreign to me in the least bit.

Nokia Messaging is built into several models as the default email client, and is no longer tied to the client software, but the email PUSH delivery service. I may be mistaken, but the second screen is checking the SIM and location to see if you are using a carrier's service that resells Nokia Messaging service or in an area where carriers have partnered to offer Nokia Messaging as a value added service. In those areas, you will have a carrier branded Nokia Messaging service that requires a subscription with a particular carrier. The US is not one of those locations, and it is free to use for all Americans, as far as I know. No carrier offers Nokia Messaging so far.

So why hop on the "I don't see it"..."I don't see it either"..."BS Nokia must hate us boo hoo" wagon. THINK.
..this is where it gets good. Read on...

For those folk who can't see the Nokia Messaging option and want it on the N900, 1)Make sure you have a Nokia Messaging account - Duh.
He's so intelligent! But good one.

2)log into nokia messaging ...click that cute little icon on the right that says re-install the software. Enter your DEVICES SIM CARD TELEPHONE NUMBER, Click the nice picture of the N900, then click next... Gee I wonder if I can do that to WiFi????
Sounds like someone doesn't have an N900... The second you find a NM client for Maemo that you can install on the N900, let me know, and post a link so we can laugh at you a bit more. The Nokia Messaging service is built into the device as a provider, and access is dependent upon location. See here:

Since I HAVE an N900, I already know, but those who don't and suffer your bad advice may benefit from that link. I advise you to find someone who can read to tell you what it says. You may be shocked.

So in conclusion.
Your speech writing is reminiscent of speeches of George W. Bush. Are you taking yourself seriously? You don't even know what you're talking about, for the most part.
No you can't use it without a SIM. No You can't use it on two devices similtaneously and yes you can reinstall it on the N900. No BS
I don't even HAVE two working devices. Where do you get the dual devices from?? And Nokia stopped the SMS provisioning due to input from me, who used the service without a SIM, so I expected there would be no SIM requirement for this implementation. Turns out it may or not be the case. We don't even know why some with SIMs aren't seeing it, and the fact I can't may have nothing to do with SIMs at all, come to find out.

BTW I keep my personal hotspot in my pants.
Good luck with that. I'm sure its at your boyfriend's request. And we would care because....
