    I can recommend the 4213. As others have posted the keyboard is kind of small, but the 3G connectivity is really good. It accepts any sim card as well as having wireless, Bluetooth and internet ports. No more dongles, or pairing with Bluetooth phones.

    They're fine if your hands and fingers are small enough to use the keyboard comfortably.

    It's all about individual requirements and these differ from person to person.

    That's why it's essential to try them all out in a shop and find the one that suits you, yourself, best.

    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    you'd now be better off living in one.

    I just bluetooth my mobile to the NC10 and use my data plan on my mobile contract. Works just as well as a dedicated modem imho.
    That works fine on my phone (G1 rooted running WiFi tether), but I also like to use my O2 iPhone SIM when I have no T-Mobile coverage - I can do this using my dongle but thats a PITA and so it'd be easier if everything was internal.

    Plus my G1 is locked to T-Mobile

    Quick update:

    Went into our local Aldi yesterday, and the Medion E1210 was on offer at £199.99 with 3 years warranty, carrying case, mini usb bluetooth adaptor, due to re-opening after store expansion with various additional specials, went for a gazebo, but also picked one up, knowing I could return, but if I dithered they would be gone, looked checked out this morning and found this

    Seems its the same machine, but if anyone knows otherwise please let me know.

    ... if you can live with its horrible, glossy, reflective screen. :(

    Not on my NC10 it 'aint

    If anything it's a matt screen and NOT glossy.

    The casing is glossy especially on the black version and fingerprints are a pig!

    Matte screen on my NC10 too. I went for the blue case to minimise the fingerprints.

    Lucky you, I've been getting strange looks from my wife when handling my glossy black nc10 with her marigolds!
