The Nokia netbooks would be fine IF you could buy one that wasn't all
hobbled up by the damned cellular phone companies they're connected to.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. The netbook is really nothing
special. It's "pretty", but not exceptional as a technology device.
But, because it has a sellphone in it....it's pretty much crap, at least
in America.
You're lots better off with an UNTOUCHABLE netbook for lots less money,
such as my Samsung NC10 with NO GLOSSY SCREEN OR FACEPLATE you can't see
outside, unlike even Samsung's new replacement. I will NOT buy a glossy
screened device any more! Try to see the difference yourself.
Sellphone netbooks have no Ethernet ports to connect your home system to
for really fast loading. Some sellphone netbooks have HOLES where the
Ethernet port WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. Nokia had no port...not good. That's
just an example of the sellphone company nonsense. I'd pass on any
netbook with a built in sellphone coming from the company or TOUCHABLE
by the company. You're much better off with a USB aircard limiting
their equipment at the USB port....not letting them have at your system.
Sometimes separate is much better....This is one of them.

$285 with free shipping from these guys....NEW, not refurb'd.
This is the blue one which looks really nice, as if that made a
difference when the guy sitting next to you is holding his black cloth
over his head trying to see his glossy geewhiz HP or Dell....(c;]
Great computer at great price.....
This is much better as your not strapped to Verizon or ATT or some other
sellphone corporation. You can do what you like! Anyone's USB Aircard
or Wifi works...even the new WiMax!

companies!
Watch the realtime videos!.....The Samsung will work fine with a WiMax
USB modem.....IF YOU STRAP IT DOWN TO KEEP IT FROM FLYING OFF AT THIS
SPEED!
