Re: Device for HA Control and other stuff

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What about a nokia 770??! its not a mobile but if you mainly want it
for in the house then possible might do the trick?!

Had a meeting with Nokia the other day and we now have a few in the
office that we're trying to see what uses we can come up with!

Our dba's love them, love the idea of being able to be out and dial in
easily to rectify any problems.  Had them up and on the wifi in
seconds, 3g data account sorted in minutes and had a vpn client on
there and connected in under an hour! pretty cool!

trying to think whether i need one personally or not!
i use my ibook to surf the net at home when on sofa etc but one of
those would be pretty cool!!

good price too! =A3200 ish all in or about =A3170 on ebay
