2. thanks for the pictures techradar, but at the moment that is the nearest i have come to one since placing my order two weeks ago tomorrow. i was asked what colour i wanted & had to pay £50 upfront as i was only getting a fixed line installed. i was advised that the engineer who was installing my line would bring my shiny new netbook on the following saturday. he turned up, but not my netbook. he said they should be sent out by courier before he arrives & i should call virgin media to see where it is. after 10 calls & 10 promised call backs from whoever is dealing with their mobile broadband section, i am none the wiser & its seems they do not know what is going on. hopefully i will get a call back one day to give me an explanation & apology, but first, i just want my netbook.
