May 24 18:55:56 <ShadowJK> Maxdamantus, I think DUN was included because N810 didn't have any cellular connectivity, and at the time, "wifi tethering" didn't really exist, but bluetooth dun was supported by many many many cellphones
May 24 18:56:09 <ShadowJK> So that was how you got connectivity to N8x0 when on the move.
May 24 18:56:24 <ShadowJK> Then came N900 with its own 3G modem so they probably thought bluetooth dun wasn't needed anymore.

May 24 20:00:42 <sunshavi> ShadowJK: until modem dies on n900
May 24 20:03:30 <Maxdamantus> or until you go into a remote area where the only reachable cell tower uses frequencies not supported by N900.
May 24 20:09:29 <sunshavi> Maxdamantus: That. Has not happened to me yet. But. It is a possibility indeed
May 24 20:10:38 <Maxdamantus> Happens to me every time I go on holiday.
May 24 22:33:10 <sunshavi> Mmm. which operator?
May 25 01:02:52 <Maxdamantus> Vodafone NZ. There are basically two providers in NZ (there are actually more, but all of the others depend on exactly one of the two main ones to provide coverage where they don't).
May 25 01:04:00 <Maxdamantus> Vodafone supports N900, but they don't have coverage in a place where I normally go on holiday, so I use an N9 instead which is supported by Spark (who doesn't support N900).
May 25 01:05:01 <Maxdamantus> Spark = Telecom NZ (old name). I actually use a different provider for the N9 (Skinny), but I think it's partly owned by Spark and I think they use all of the same infrastructure.
May 25 01:06:16 <Maxdamantus> Actually, it's wholely owned by Spark.
May 25 01:06:30 <Maxdamantus> So just a difference in marketing.
