Wow, these computers from Suissa Computers are amazing, they are more works of art than computers.

Suissa have five different designs, and is available with up to date components.

This is interesting, CNET has an overview of the top five user rated mobile phones that they have reviewed on their site. I had to check the date of the article twice just to make sure it wasn't two years old, as the phone that gets the top rating is the Nokia 6230. But when I thought of it, it made some sense, I actually own a 6230, and except for the ride in the washing machine, it was a great phone, and probably one of the better ones I have owned. My lust for newer and better and fancier is the only reason I did not buy another 6230 when mine went for a swim.

The service will work with three phones initially, the Motorola A910, Nokia 6136, and Samsung P200. It looks like they offer the service including an 8 meg internet connection, for 50 pounds a month, not sure what this includes for mins outside of the home, but it does inlcude unlimited at home.
