The additional storage will be used as external hard drive space.

Don't think there's a way of fooling the BIOS to use USB - nor would you want to at the speeds available, which are nothing like RAM access.

The only thing hard drive space is used for, is virtual memory, such as the Windows Page File.

We got ours the other week, it's the Toshiba and came with a free printer - the internet supplier is T-Mobile, My DD was so happy she had a way of printing off her work!

Has anyone seen any problems with 3's billing?

Basically, when I go to My3 we have 2 bills. One says ~£12 and the other over £30. However, when I click on the bill, it says we haven't exceeded our limit (quite under it actually)

I don't think they will accept it, if you called the child benefit number, they will send you a new copy

It's brilliant, she hasn't had any problems with it at all, and the printer is really good too. Was really easy to unlock as well, although you have to take it into a T-Mobile shop for that
