No, its free with WnW. Why are you saying these things?
Current contract Flext-60 & WnW Plus. I've had this for nearly three years now, so this may be a 'new customers only' thing.
You just need to speak to CS about it, agree legal terms and they will text you your login details.
Edit : actually, I won't - I'm gonna cancel and change my current contract when my N900 comes. I'll probs unwittingly commit myself to another 18months of this one if I get hotspot access added.

Stupid system.
Hotspot access is a monthly item you can switch on and off, so you should be ok.

Does anyone know and/or how can we tell if either of these deals will involve branded and/or otherwise crippled n900 handsets?
I don't want to commit to >12 months, only to discover that half
the features I most want are disabled!
Ditto will they be network locked (although that is less of an issue for me)?

I just had this conversation with the live help thing on mobilephonesdirect:
So you definitely get a unlocked phone with no operator crippling. I'm now seriously considering ordering it on Combi 25+WnW, since over 18 months that works out to £540 in total, only £40 more than sim-free from nokia direct. He didn't say whether the contracts were likely to get better or worse, but they are likely to change apparently, and I would be surprised if it ended up cheaper to buy out an entire contract than just to buy it sim free, so they can't get that much cheaper. Also, the N97, which is the same price or cheaper sim free, can't be had on as good a deal.
RE Hotspots: they should be free with WnW plus, which is the 3gb mobile broadband option, not with normal WnW which is included in these contracts.

Please wait. A representative will be with you shortly.
Webshop Customer Help says:
Hello Pat. My name is Webshop Customer Help how can I help you?
Pat says:
When do you expect to get N900 stock?
Webshop Customer Help says:
mid to late october
Pat says:
Thanks. Are the deals you have currently likely to change before then?
Webshop Customer Help says:
yes
Pat says:
For better or worse?
Pat says:
Also, If I were to preorder it now would I be charged now or when the phone arrives?
Webshop Customer Help says:
you wouold be charged once we send out the handset
Pat says:
And are the phones you sell operator branded and locked?
Pat says:

Webshop Customer Help says:
no, all unlocked and unbranded

If you look at the t&c's of the fair usage policy, it says there are no additional charges if you go over the 1gb limit unless you go over it with regularity. Interesting....

Hmm, pre-ordering is suddenly becoming more appealing again. Does anyone know if you can supply a PAC code and have your number switched over after getting a shiny new N900 and T-Mobile contract? I would be moving from O2.
Early last year, Tmobile's network was getting very popular with data users because of the great deals they were offering compared to the rest and their 3G network was getting hammered. So they started offering free access to Tmobile and BT hotspots with a 40gb fup.
That has since changed recently with only 300mins allowed on BT Openzone and 30gb fup on Tmobile hotspots.
I recently dropped down to Combi 20 with WnW plus and i have free hotspot access. You just need to speak to CS about it, agree legal terms and they will text you your login details.
