Thanks for the tip off.
I just took the plunge today and brought one of these home.
Opted for the 3 mobile option, 30 quid over 18 months with 5Gig download.
Yes the demo unit in the shop is locked down, but the one I brought home
has all the normal access you expect too see.
The dongle worked straight away. I did notice that firefox fires up in
offline mode. Did you say there was a fix Alan?
