But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Just had a quick look and it's either the £89 keyboardless model or £149 keyboard/3G model :undecided:

Would be a bit of a pain using the 5 way controller to type messages or login I imagine, but hey it's not going to be you going that so... do you care if the other person gets a little frustrated?

In that case get the £149 version otherwise if she see's the difference in price...  :lipsrsealed:

Or wait and see if they sell the Kindle Fire here in the UK (I'm sure they will), it's pricer but colour screen and is Android tweaked to be more like an Amazoid (only get content via Amazon and locked, but cheap for what it will be)
