Product Specification

PocketSurfer 2 is an ultra-thin portable device that easily fits into a pocket or bag and delivers the real web, just like at home or at work. Weighing in at just 174 grams the PocketSurfer 2 allows you to browse the web in its original layout on a 640x240 full colour widescreen display using a mouse cursor and a full backlit QWERTY keyboard making it the most usable hand-held web device around. The PocketSurfer 2 doesn¹t hang about either, with page-load times of under seven seconds over GPRS thanks to Datawind¹s compression technology you¹ll be flying around the web just as you would at your desk.

No Wires
The PocketSurfer 2 has its own in-built GPRS antenna and SIM card which means it can connect itself straight to the mobile network to get you online immediately, you don¹t need any other bits and pieces at all, just get it out of the box and go!

No Contracts
The PocketSurfer 2 doesn¹t need you to take out a contract, you can use it out-of-the-box for 12 months without paying a penny and to use it for the next year will cost as little as £40!

No Compromise
Browse the web just as you would on your desktop PC. Like no other handheld web-browsing experience, the PocketSurfer 2 keeps all your pages displaying just as they were designed.

    Reviews:

    ABC News.com: "...PocketSurfer took only seven seconds to download the main web page of a popular news site. The page appeared on the PocketSurfer in exactly the same format and layout as if viewed on a conventional laptop or computer. Other wireless data devices couldn't reproduce the page at all because of the large number of graphics and images involved. Other handhelds took several minutes to produce pages with a skewed layout or reduced functionality because the devices couldn't handle certain aspects of the web page"

    T3.co.uk:"We've been getting excited about the PocketSurfer 2 here at T3.co.uk for quite a while. And now it seems it's only a matter of time before we get the chance to paw our very own model of the killer web toy. You see, PocketSurfer 2 doesn't go straight to websites to request pages. Instead, it goes through its own server, which shrinks down pages in super fast time and sends them straight to the handheld. You can have the site you want in but five seconds."

    Reg Hardware.co.uk: "The PocketSurfer 2 doesn't do voice, so it's not going to replace your phone entirely - indeed, Datawind isn't trying to do so - but for a lot of folk it may well be very tempting as a way of keeping up with Facebook and MySpace on the move"
