hand held internet??

[bubbles83]

Hi,
i have been looking around for ages trying to find a hand held device that can link to my wireless router, i don't want anything massively expensive as i only want to use the internet on it.

does any one know of anything??

i hope that makes sense!
thanks!

Something like this:
http://europe.nokia.com/770 ?

[bubbles83]

yes thats it like that!

sorry if i am being stupid but is that a contract phone as well??

i don't really want anything on contract, don't mind having the internet phone though!

thanks!

Despite the Nokia name,it is NOT a phone.

Cheapest place to buy it is the Nokia website for �245

Works brilliantly

http://direct.nokia.com/Product.aspx?model=770

The only viable alternative is the HP Travelmate, again cheapest from the HP website with a �40 first-order discount.

i am wondering weather to go for the nokia one??

thanks!

I did because it is first and foremost a WiFi internet tablet PC whereas the HP is a PDA pretending to be one but still makes a pretty good fist of it.
Nokia are also offering a navigation kit for the 770 for �95 when bought at the same time, a saving of �40.

Thanks!

shame its not an mp3 player as well!

The PSP (playstation portable) has a pretty good web browser. Not suitable for heavy duty surfing but good enough to check my emails and RSS subs etc without going upstairs. It also has mp3 etc.
Not really suitable if you're wanting to type much but it's an alternative.

It does have an audio player incorporated which supports all the common file formats such as MP3, WMA etc and a video player.
It really does have everything you need.

i agree there good but i need an easier way to type.


thanks all!
