This is my review as posted on Ebuyer site. I got mine from Capitalstores.co.uk, cheapest I found and free next day delivery.
I got mine 2 weeks ago and am happy with it. Build quality is not 100% as it has some sharp edges where the casing meets rubber etc. Screen is good and battery has lasted me 2 weeks with 15 mins or so of daily use. Could do with a touch screen or touch mouse rather than holding it down, but that would make it more expensive.

It has an Orange SIM in it and where I live and work the signal is good most of the time.

The ability to type docs and spreadsheets on the Zoho website then read/update them instantly on the Pocketsurfer2 is good. Yahoo and other web based email (not Hotmail yet I understand) is accessed by selecting the envelope key. I only had to sign in once then it always opens straight away, which is good. Comes in really hand for checking emails on the go. Can only access Inbox as far as I can see, not spam, or personal folders, but hey, that'll do.

Mine now needs a charge but I can't find the charger so am wondering if I can use my TomTom USB cable so phoned the support line to ask, but they are busy. Also emailed a couple of queries about 4 days ago, but no reply as yet. Perhaps support is not all it should be yet? If you work somewhere where you can't access your web email then this machine comes in really handy, and it's great for showing off down the pub! Just get one.
Found the charger, but yes, you can use a USB charger such as your TomTom one.
Hope this helps.

Re: pocket surfer 2

Hi I have had a pocket surfer 2 for about a month and am very pleased with it. Once you get used to the navigation arrows (keyboard mouse) then it is pretty quick downloading and reading websites. Battery life lasts about 5 hours of continous use but will last over a week or so if not used. You get 20 hours free internet access a month for the first year then £40 for the second year. If you want unlimited access its £5.99 a month. It displays the FULL internet websites not scaled down mobile versions. Ive bought 2 more since buying mine...one for my teenage son who is very impressed with it and one for my mate. Hope this info helps you!
