Re: dongles - the Home Access package only allows a choice of Three or T-Mobile. I've got a Three mobile which has excellent signal everywhere except, ironically, inside my house. I've had no experience of T-Mobile, but their online checker shows us to be right on the edge of their coverage area. Looking at the locations in which the dongle will be used, Three seems to offer much more comprehensive coverage so I'll go for the devil I know.
I don't know anyone with a netbook and having looked at them in the shops yesterday I really can't understand why anyone would have one. I'd seen them before but assumed they were kids' toy computers, not fully fledged Windows machines. I also didn't realise quite how poor laptops' battery life was, but on that front the Samsung R519 seems to be the best of a bad bunch. The 2GB RAM swings it for me so that's the one I'll be requesting. I'm very grateful to the people who've replied to this topic, it's helped me to have some independent opinions to take on board. Ownership updates to follow...
