If you're worried about racking up huge bills surfing the web using a mobile connection, then Datawind's PocketSurfer2 should ease your mind.

Free web access is included with the device, so you don't need to pay extra every month just to use it. You get 20 hours a month included for the first year, and then it will cost you £39.95 to renew it for a further year. Compression technology is included to speed up web surfing, reducing page load times to around seven seconds.

It has a half height VGA screen, Qwerty keyboard and supports full HTML and Java. It's small enough to carry around with you, measuring just 152x75x15mm and weighing 174g. The built in battery will last for up to five hours of web surfing or five days in standby.

The Pocketsurfer2 will be available from 16 August for £179.99, see DataWind's site for more information.
