I'd like a smartphone or iPhone, but....

While the phones aren't too pricey, the monthly plans are too much. I mean, I'd have to dump cable if I did that, so.... I'm looking for a netbook, one of those mini PCs so I can check my email at lunch (since all email at work is considered 'evil' - so AOL, Yahoo - is blocked, as are all 'social networking' places, including now, sniffle, Twitter).

So, does anybody have one or recommend any or hints on what I should look for on one? Thanks in advance!

I have one of the little Dell netbooks, and I like it just fine. I love the keyboard and the battery life is good. The mouse pad seems a little "sticky" and sometimes a little hard to control, but nothing terrible. Check out the screen sizes to see which one works best for you before you buy.

I do NOT have Word on mine, just the Works or whatever that came with it.

Thanks! Whatever I get I plan to load on Word :)
