Then tried that I call to my phone with another phone. No problem. After that I could browse internet again. Switch the 3G data connection off, put it back on and same thing happened. Only after I had called to my phone with another phone I could connect to internet with a browser.

Why ping and browser did not work but mSoma internet radio did?
Could it be DNS problem ? You probably did 'ping google.com' not ###.###.###.### whatever ip google uses near you, I'd guess. You could rule this out next time it happens by trying to ping an ip4 address.

Wish I had a carrier now I could use N900 on to try it, but I chose . . . poorly.
