they should be fast enough. problem is - the n series is lame. no phone. =
only a
small 802.11 "webpad" and frankly - my 10" sony x505 beats that - and its=
 a
full laptop with 20g of disk, 512m ram and 1024x768 screen.

you want a PHONE with telephony circuits - preferably 3g for packet switc=
hed
data access (or older japanese phones). 802.11 is only useful when i'm at=
 home
- or lucky to find an open access point somewhere. you need telephony ser=
vices
otherwise.
