Feels weird. No good for playing music on with i'ts tinny sound, got the desky all pimped up.

  Gonna stick at it though. What's the best dongle deal? Low use, surfing only, can download free on the desktop so only need a basic connection & even then not very often. Obviously running off the re router at home...Virgin/ntl 2 meg cable, £18 per month, no landline & don't want one or tv package so it limits my options.

    Any ideas please?

As I dont use my lappy much I find the laptop mouse fiddly so always plug a cheapo mouse in a usb  ...mucho easier to use than the built in thing.. :y :y

Use headphones, music good, though I am not an expert. I run this wireless, though have a 3G dongle for use at the caravan.
Personally I have never been able to get away with the pad, use a separate wireless mouse. :y

£10 a month is ok. Is that pay & go or contract? I don't trust "3" bad phone experience. All cleared up now but it cost me big time. :(

Check your postcode on the 3 site...will show coverage.

Im on 3 now (dongle) and no complaints.

Pay as you go...£10 gives 1 gig useage which should be plenty. :y

How long does £10 top up last? Can you check how much credit you have left like with a pre paid phone, gas/leccy meter etc?
    Where do you buy them & top them up please? :-/

I have used the PS3 to access OOF but it does have a keyboard attached.
