If you have PC Suite installed and the phone connected, it's easy to use it to connect to the Internet using your phone - you just need to choose 'Connect to the Internet' in the PC Suite menu, and run through the Settings to choose your phone and network provider. However, note that standard Web'n'Walk is not supposed to be used with a laptop - you're meant to have Web'n'Walk Plus or Max for that.
The gallery button flashes because it's telling you that it's locked the keypad.

Actually I think it flashes when the screen light is dimmed to off. Mine isnt set to lock when I close the phone and it still does it when the screen dims.

You do get more usage on Web'n'Walk Plus (3GB rather than 1GB per month), and you're allowed to use more services like IM and streaming media, but basically T-Mobile's policy is that you need Web'n'Walk Plus to use your phone as a modem for your laptop. It may work on standard Web'n'Walk, I don't know - but T-Mobile say you should have Plus for that.

the scammers lol
All services work on all packages except Windows Live (which is now a subscription service on N95) and ftp access for which you need the costlier package.

Although what works and what's allowed are a different matter.. if you use services you're not supposed to be using, T-Mobile could get upset if they find out.
