With the help of USB networking you can connect your Nokia N900 to your laptop. If in a situation where wifi or Blue-tooth are not an option that time you can connect your Nokia N900 to other system in USb networking.

Follow the step for Automatic configuration with Ubuntu 9.10/10.04 :-

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_USB_DRIVER}=="cdc_ether", ENV{ID_MODEL}="N900__PC-Suite_Mode", ENV{ID_VENDOR}=="Nokia", NAME="n900"

	up iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.2.15/32 -j MASQUERADE
	up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
        down iptables -D POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.2.15/32 -j MASQUERADE
	down echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

For 9.10you have to fix /etc/init/network-interface.conf
