back to basics
« on: 04 June 2009, 17:07:01 »
I dropped my phone in the car park the other day, now it won't get signal  :'(

Its a good phone that did everything i wanted to (Windows Mobile HTC SPV3000)

But looking at the cost of its replacement a nice little notebook will be cheaper.

Going to use that with my old trusty Nokia 6230 as GPRS modem, from when Nokia made propper phones.

I fired it up, and it was sooo fast and nice to use.  :)

At the end of the day, i send very few txts and make few calls, i got a Windows phone to take advantage of the free internet.

The contract on my SIM is everything i want, £5 inc vat for all my calling and txting needs (100/125) and unlimited internet.

I know it has a silly low cap, but i like browsing the net on the train, my phone as a modem will do fine.

That laptop be also good to watch films on the train too  8-)

Not really an issue, i get 3G signal in London but i have my office PC there. On the train back its GPRS most of the way.

I usually had the 3G turned off on the phone to save power.

Been with O2 for a number of years, standard £25/30 ish contract always taking out a new phone.

Decided to buy my own phone, and get a SIM only contract.

They took their £15 a month contract, and discounted it to £5 inc Vat

I blagged internet on it as well or i would leave.

So i got:

125 txts
100 mins any time any network
Unlimited Internet

Does me for my needs, used to use msn on my phone....

I've got the NC10's big brother - the Q45 with a 12" screen.   It is an awesome computer that handles everything I want it to including editing videos, copying DVD's and setting up websites.   I've just got an Acer One with the Atom chip that the NC10 has - it was £130 online at Dixons with an 8.9" screen.  I've upped the memory to 1.5gb and it is very good but not as good as the Q45.   I do like the NC10 but the Q45 is a similar price on e-bay and much more useable.

So realistically if i wanted the same deal i couldnt get it?
I want something that would be good for portable internet but have no idea where to start, and its got to be cheap really
