Have my N80 which is quicker but they are handy little things.

Ah ... Vodafone ones - they are paired with their original SIM 99% of the time. So unless the SIM and IMEI match it might not play :s

Are they GPRS or 3G?

So as I understand this, I can plug one of these into my laptop or PDA while out and about and surf the net? Does it cost? if so how much a minute?
Sorry for the Q's but I'm a technophobe!
