HI,
we have bought one of these to use as a netbook while on holiday. On paper it looks like it should do everything we want access web etc via wifi & modem. We have it and are having issues access yahoo mail via wifi.

Has anyone seen these and if so do you have any experience?

I am now starting to wonder if we should have got a netbook instead and looked intoa 3g payg dongle...

I've seen them but never really played with them.
They appear to go through a proxy to compress the pages. Probably why you're having issues.
Does it work over 3G?

haven't tried over the mobile link yet as we didn't want to active it until we needed it..

tbh I'd assume most people here would get a netbook instead (or already have a small enough laptop).
If it's just for some casual surfing then the Ubisurfer should be OK but using a netbook with a payg 3g dongle will probably be a much better experience.
