mugwump Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 to be honest its not as good as you want it to be. sure the all in price for unlimited (well 20 hours a month unless you upgrade) internet access is not bad. Doesnt do multimedia (no sound) and video doesnt really work. Basically its like a citrix client (if you know what that is) over GPRS onto a server running a web browser, it does load pages pretty quickly so navigating around links is not bad. The keyboard is a little slow to use (much too small to touchtype and the typing interface is clunky) so just trying to send an email is a pain in the @r$e. I find I can text an email faster from my mobile phone than I can from this device. Having a reasonable size screen is useful and its handy when you just want to check something quickly (its a pub quiz-toilet cheat-marvel) but not really a serious competitor to a laptop (not that it pretends to be but I hoped it might save me carrying a laptop to some meetings and make do with googlemail/googledocs and then update them when back at the office)or even a wireless PDA. Gadget factor - 8/10 Early adopter factor - 9/10 Practicality - 4/10 price - 8/10 Frustration to use 10/10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
