I'm looking into purchasing an netbook for under £300. I travel up and down the country on the train often so would like it to have 3G support, ideally built in however if the netbook is good enough external may be acceptable. I would like the battery life to be 9 hours or more. HDD space isn't an issue, it will only be used for word and internet browsing. I have been looking at this:

On the features page it says it supports 3G natively, however the specification contradicts it. Can anyone confirm one way or the other or suggest another decent netbook?
I'm in the UK and budget it £300.
Check your cell carrier's website along with local electronics stores, I see netbooks all the time with discounts since they come with a 3G plan.
I'm not looking for a contract, I will buy the data plan seperately on a month to month baisis. I just need to find a netbook that I can use the data plan with.

I have yet to see a netbook with 3G that you don't buy from a carrier. I assume they exist, but it's unlikely that you're going to find one easily. For example, I just looked on Dell.com, and the only way I could buy one with 3G was by also subscribing to a plan.
If you want to just pick up a netbook though, a bit over a month ago I purchased an Asus EEE 1005PE. Great little netbook. I get about 10-12 hours out of the battery, depending on what I'm doing.

That's what I thought, thanks. I think I'll probally get that Sausung as the keyboard is very similar to my apple keyboard so will make it easier plus with things like wireless n it generally is better than most for the money.

Mine has the chiclet keys like an Apple, plus N wireless and even Bluetooth.
I have used one of the 1005HAnetbooks and I actually found it really hard to type on compared to a Samsung N210. As I can't get one with 3G build in for £300 what would be my best choice for around £200-250? I do like the look of the Acer Aspire One.
