yep its fast, i have 8mb broadband at home and i regularly achieve around 98% of full speed, and i have always hated using my mobile to look at tiny little wap pages that take an age to load, so when i saw the linsar pocketsurfer2 i thought id give it a go, i promise you that you will not be dissapointed with speed the only thing it doesnt handle well is video, as linsar cant compress video it then turns into a major crawl on somewhere like youtube, but i can nip onto bbc.co.uk check the news, update my website and check my mail at near enough a broadband speed which i am amazed at, you get a 25gb storage facility online which you can store anything on via your pc and then view on your pocketsurfer also you can link directly to your pc for remote access, it has access to online versions of word/speadsheets which is called thinkfree, IM MSN Yahoo Aol, you can setup an email account so that you have one touch access to your mail, strange as well it has a GPS facility which i have tried but for some reason it says im in london but yet im in west yorkshire so a little inaccurate i must be doing something wrong, the cursor is moved across the screen by a little 4 way arrow system works reasonably well and is more than quick enough to move around a screen. The build quality seems ok wouldnt want to drop it though so im gonna be careful with it.
