..am looking to get one, not sure tho (or if not, the desire)

if i weren't having to use it, i would say the media player is a f*ck*ng joke, some of these reviews gassed it/underplayed how dire it really is and there ain't no suitable replacement

also it's freezing and i'm not even anywhere near capacity

plus i somehow lost my stylus at the gym and operating it wit your finger IS.NOT.THE.LICK

Archos 5 internet tablet,

Just randomly browsed an argos catlouge selling for £299. upwards

I know its not a smartphone, but since it has more or less the same tricks as ur typical decent handset. (hence i didn;t bother making a totally new topic)

Just wondering are internet tablets/mutlmedia devices worth getting? anyone got one?

or are u just better off, with smartphone/iphone etc...

Looking at it, I just want it, but dont excatly need it, if u catch my drfit. Just a gadget fiend.

my bredrin was showing me the hd2 the other day, first time i've seen it

the colours are vibrant as f*ck, like skittles for my eyes

slyly regret this two yr contract on my bb

want that phone now

[Shatterstar]

In love with my N900, no real issues with my media player, it plays avi/xvid ffs, what more can you ask for? Emulators work nicely, Ovi maps is cool, the GPS on the desktop is a nice touch, RSS feeds, e-mail is unreliable though, Skype is good, internets smooth, even streaming vids over 3G, TV out is handy.

Oh ok, I haven't even tried to create a playlist. Im using Web 'n' Walk & it seems cool but I must admit I haven't tried another networks internet before. My major issue with the phone is the e-mail client, that's proper rubbish, it's suppose to alert me to new e-mails but rarely ever does.
