It may look like a crisis, but it's only the end of an illusion.

I tried out my OLPC-subsidized TMobile account at the local Star Bucks with my Nokia N810 yesterday.
Finally got it to work after much hair-pulling. Finally realized that the login page (that you get after being redirected to TMobile in your browser, then clicking a link) had the form/fields hidden, because of some fixed-layout CSS games! Probably a side-effect of having a small screen. By hitting the move-right button in my "joystick" area, I was able to get into the form and enter my info. Even then I seemed to have some troubles, but that might have been due to case-sensitivity issue.
Eventually I got things working. Not just the web, but even GizMo (just did Instant Messaging, didn't bother trying Vo Ip Over Wi Fi).
(heh, I TwittEr-ed a link to this, and the tweet became the top hit on Google for n810/starbucks/t-mobile in less than 24hrs)
