Always...got pretty tired of dealing with hotel computers. Now I get to deal with sketchy hotel wireless, and rooms with 2 electrical outlets.

I have the wireless broadband connector for Sprint. It's my on-road and at-home internet connection. No screwing around with hotel wire-not or fees and anything else like that. When I want to surf five aviation forums at once while downloading large files from busy servers, I can.

Yea but doesn't the keyboard just suck on those things? I couldn't imagine myself typing on them. What's the battery life like? Could I watch a couple movies on it or no?
