Went through the whole funan and sim lim today looking for the black EEE 900.. it's nowhere to be seen White one easily available though. Gonna think hard tonight to see whether I can live with a white one..

$798

Damn, the EEE 900 (Linux) is pretty buggy when coming out of suspend mode. It's died on me 3 times today.

No, you didn't mention mobility at all, so I don't think the EEE PC is something for you. Get a cheap laptop - it's much more comfortable to use.

Added on May 18, 2008, 8:53 amI'm currently using my EEE to do casual ebook reading on-the-go. Still haven't setup PPP on it so I can't use 3G yet.. but it should be soon The battery life is really a big problem - it doesn't feel like I'm getting 2 hours out of this thing. Besides, it drains battery very quickly while under suspend mode.

One of the problems with the EEE keyboard is its lack of dedicted PgUp/Down keys. They are overloaded into the Up/Down keys where you need to press it in conjunction with Fn.

This makes it impossible to scroll in most apps using only one hand!! An exception is Adobe Reader, where you can use rightShift + Up/Down.

OK, if you think so

I suggest that you at least get a USB keyboard+mouse to use when you're docked at a desk.

Using the EEE sure gets me funny looks on the streets. A fair number of people have come up to ask me about it. Finally got 3G hooked up through my Nokia today, and it's starting to fulfill my expectations

Too slow. I might as well press the "down" key, which does the same thing and requires less effort.

Sure.. let us know how she finds it. I'm not convinced that it's the right solution, but if she uses it productively, what can I say

Yeah they stuffed up the EEE 900 specs there - it definitely doesn't have bluetooth.

Now I'm torn between getting a $40 USB mini-bt adapter, or going for a $200 USB HSDPA modem.

Got cheated into playing one of those stupid toy-catching games.. and won something my friend and I were bored so we took some photos of it..

hangy2k, do you have access to supermarket digital weighing scales? I wanna know how heavy the EEE 900 is with the 5800mAh batt.

Bring it to the supermarket?

Found this from an engadget comment:

I had a big big burger the other day..
