| 732317 | 2008-12-25 08:51:00 | I am going on holiday up north in camper van for a week. Two kids and no internet is going to be hell for them I was thinking about vodem and lappie but its too expensive because only plans are for 24 months. Same with t stick Ideally some sort of prepay with mobile broadband would be good but it doesent exist yet. Could someone tell me if a blackberry or palm trio would be ok for web surfing the kids play runescape would the screen be too small ? Thanks for any advice my sanity is at stake here plus you get locked up for strangling kids |

When we go camp9ing no electronic toys are allowed and my step son has a great time usually take his cousin with us though as he is an only child | gary67 (56) | ||
