Hey everyone i need some advice about what to use to solve my mobile computing dilemma.

What i need is a system that can view PDFs and powerpoints, browse the web, create documents and act as a ssh platform to do development work on the servers at my university. I need both Wifi and GPRS to gain web access everywhere. Also i need a phone with reasonable quality camera for photographing whiteboard work during during design stages.

The dilemma is between an n95 and an eepc or just getting an e90.

In my head i know the eepc/n95 combo is far better as the keyboard on the eee is far more functional that the e90 and the screen on it is alot more useable and then i can bluetooth connect to the n95 for mobile access. Also the n95 has a higher res camera for photographing diagrams etc.

But the thing is i love the fact that the e90 would be an all in one solution and its a damn cool product. The e90 also works out cheaper to begin with but has a higher monthly cost, il list the costs below.

e90:
One off cost £130 plus whatever micro sd i buy and then £35 a month for 24 months on a phone contract.

eeepc/n95
One off cost £220 for eeepc and then the phone is free an an 18month £30 contract.

So i would appreciate all and any opinions to help me make my decision.

Also in case anyone suggest the new n95 8gb these are only available on contract to a carrier i do not want to use in UK so theyre ruled out.

Thanks
 
if i were u id go with the n95 and eeepc i dont think i could stand to use the e90's keyboard for very long and the eee is a full laptop so it can do many more things then the e90..
 
Yeah im really starting to learn towards the eee pc and n95, im starting to realise how awful the e90 would be for coding, differants types of brackets are in quite awkward places.

As i said before my head is screaming eee and n95 haha but my heart just wants the e90 :D

Its really hard to find people with actual user experience of the e90 though. Plenty of it for the n95 and eeepc.

maybe if ur rich buy all 3! lol but i mean the e90 is cool and id love to have one of those but is it really practical other then " i got a $900 phone!"?
 
Not at all rich haha im a university student.

I think i am pretty much set on the eeepc and n95 as its dramtically more functional set of tools than the e90.
