Watchout though if you're considering getting the NC10 netbook package from Vodafone - it only comes with a 3-cell battery unlike the 6 cell version the retail Samsung is packaged with, meaning you will barely get 3 hour's use unlike the 7+ hours all the reviews rave about and one of the NC10's strongest selling points.
