i really dont get the whole netbook thing. i have a phone that gets me on the internet whenever i'm not at home or don't have my laptop with me...so why the need for a 3rd device? i'm confused.

LOL!! me too. I guess the snobby Americans which we all are just have to constantly shoot for the new things which some of them are unnessary. I've seen some sitting at the bar with his netbook out, he didn't even look the business kinda person but more like a dousch!!

I have an online blog where I write my opinions on certain fashion trends or new cars or certain products, so I need to get picture references while typing in my blog, while listening to music [because music rocks] while watching fashion shows via youtube or dvd's. Plus I have to be at 5 different locations every day....and I travel by bus/subway/cab. That is the type of person who could use a netbook, hopefully unlocked, but a netbook none the less. Something small and easy to carry is great, but no cell phone can run so many things w/o exploding [ala iPhone]. This is why netbooks are a great idea...

lol I don't actually get Nokia at all, I mean I have a BenQ Joybook S32W and I think my iPhone can replace that because of sucky battery life, and it is a bit bulky compared to iPhone. Anyway the problem with editing Word and Excel docs requires an app for it either QuickOffice or Docs2Go. I have Docs2Go and it certainly can replace my laptop but not my desktop, I don't really like laptop anyway afterall my iPhone pretty much can do anything that a laptop can, games(Uh, I'm not saying PC games here because those laptops are weak), music, web broswing, Google Maps, Stock Exchange, and etc. I always amazed with Nokia advertisements but sorry Nokia you fail me on your phones and your netbook.

Not everyone have a data plan with their phone. Besides, it's easier to view and type online with a larger monitor and keyboard on a netbook than on a phone. Also, not everyone wants a powerful laptop but a decent version for the basics like online viewing, email and occasional movie viewing, which is what a netbook is meant for. Too bad most are underpowered but the concept is sound!

i totally see the points that have been made and all but...still...i just dont get why someone would get a netbook instead of just bringing their laptop with them.

Well to be totally honest....there are to occasional people who have a tight budget or are not into laptops for serious PC usage. In my experience a netbook is for a casual user or even a child under the age of 12 so they can have their cheaper (although I am of your opinion...just fork over the doe for a laptop) personal COMPUTER...lol. The last is only for those kids that are not given everything under the sun though...
