    I got one yesterday. it works in work on the wireless, but..... It couldn't see my wireless at home.

    So I tried to upgrade my router's firmware and bricked it.

    Anyway a review, Tis a bit slow, a bit small but very portable. Everything but flash support which is no great loss.

    Gmail is a doddle but I thought it was a bit slow untill I realised I was in html only mode, and that it was very slow.

    Boards pops along at a decent enough pace on off peak times if you disable images. On peak is worse than 56k.

    Its a very portable internet access device, the screen is bigger than a mobile and chances are you aren't paying for the internet connection. For €45 it a big stretch but if you have an internet monkey on your back or enjoy gadgets then give it a wizz. Avoid if all you use on the internet is you tube.

    Just got it earlier myself, I think you'd need to have the profile settings set to mobile to get value out of it.
    When I was surfing boards on it I couldn't find the style option to change it so gave up.
    We wanted one for internet banking when we are out and about.
    We got stuck in UK a while back there with no ability to transfer money between accounts while out shopping one day. Couldn't find an internet cafe anywhere in newcastle metro centre, were thinking at the time a DS with browser would have done as there were hotspots everywhere.
