I need a netbook but which one? Am thinking the Samsung NC10 due to cost. I would like the new sony but it is stupidly expensive. Any suggestions?
I don't think a Blackberry will give me the utilities that I need.

10 pounds is 10 pounds. 10 pounds not spent is better.
That green book in the corner looks good.
My dad likes his EEEPc a lot. He got the Linux version. Takes it on all his business trips. No problems so far. I've played with it a bit. It reads and writes most all common windows and mac type documents, updates are free, and has a good browser.
I suppose it depends on what your requirements are going to be. In my personal experience, crackberries suck.
For my purposes I'm stuck using a full lappy when I travel because I don't want to buy that ultra expensive SONY I like that would be handier. Like the other fellow said about 10 pounds...
Get a MacBook Air, or the new iPhone. See what's in store for you with iPhone OS 3.0 or whatever they're calling it. Besides...
Blackberries cause Global Warming.
I presume you'd be able to get an Acer Aspire One in the UK. I've read nice things about them: low cost, Linux utility, etc. BTW, love the blog!
I have a Dell 910 ("Inspiron Mini 9"), and I like it.
Reviewers who've had hands-on with various brands think it has superior build quality (which considering its quality, is really more of a slam at the entire market, rather than great praise of the Dell, which is merely adequate).
Note that you can get larger aftermarket SSDs and 2 gig ram modules; the former both larger than Dell sells and often cheaper than Dell's upgrade prices, and the latter something Dell won't offer (for contractual reasons; MS doesn't like people selling XP ULCPC Edition on things with over 1G of RAM).
(The "you can get a faster, better SSD aftermarket" thing is true for those competitors that use SSDs, as well.)
Yea....a macbook shit is not a netbook. eee pc's are nice. other than that though I think a blackberry could do almost anything you wanted it to, and if it doesn't come built in, there's probably an app that can.a lot better for any ammount of typing than an iphone which isnt meant for anything more than a 2 letter response, anything longer than that your likely to misspell.
I have an Eee 900 with Eeebuntu on it. Works great.
I bought the Acer Aspire One. I like it.
It boots quickly and does what I need while traveling... email and a little blogging, checking the news.
I am surprised with the keyboard... I have less trouble with it than I imagined. And the built-in camera works great!
My only suggestion would be to check out the machines with the 10 inch monitor and therefore the slightly larger keyboard. Try a few and see what you think.
We can buy the Acer here for $350 with Windows XP loaded, and I'd buy mine again given the chance.
I bought the Samsung and am pleased with it. I'd love a Macbook Air (see other comment) but it's five times as expensive! The NC10 has impressive battery life and is great for business trips where I don't want to haul my more powerful but much heavier laptop around. I'm afraid that after comparing many in the same price bracket, specs, I bought this one because it was blue . . .
Four days ago, I got an Acer Aspire One w/8.9" screen and I love it (so far). Good speed, crystal clear screen, 160 GB hard drive, but the thing is smaller than a book. Of course, WiFi connectivity, since I just typed this.
I saw a description on the web of how to get MacOS onto a netbook. Seems a good option if you don't want to spring for the Macbook Air. When my contract for my BBerry runs out in a year I will think about getting an iPhone. Sony computers are ridiculously overpriced, but they do make nice monitors.
I've got an NC-10, and it's pretty slick.
You really can get about 7 hours out of a charge, the keyboard is very close to standard size (and feels proper), and the screen's good.
Haven't installed OS X on it yet, but it's doable, too. Got WinXP and Linux running on it currently.
