I've been thinking about getting a small, light device that will allow me to surf the web PC-style on the bus or train and I was wondering what people thought about the Nokia N800 Internet tablet.
It's got Wi-Fi (unlike it's predessor - the 770) and a full-screen finger keyboard.

but how are you planning on using the internet on a bus?
Comes with a higher clocked processor and proper pull down keyboard.
As said above though, how are you going to browse on the train/bus ?
I don't know why I thought that only the N800 had it.
GPRS for the Internet on a bus.
Since I started this thread, I've discovered a device called the Datawind PocketSurfer 2 and I was wondering if this is better.
It's got a 5" screen, built-in GPRS modem (but no Wi-Fi), loads up a web page in 7 seconds and it's only £180.
You get 20 hours free usage per month for a whole year and you can get unlimited usage for only £5.99 a month.

Using GPRS/EDGE?
I'm actually thinking about getting this device, instead:

Probably but according to the Firebox site, "Acceleration technology allows you to zip around the web like greased lightning".
£180 for the device and 20 hours surfing per month isn't bad, though - is it?
Some people think that, for the expected price of it, they should've included 3G.
