It is best to report the latest error and the P3 engineers will have it underway.
 
Maybe you can trying to restart for two or three times. It's same things to me. I let Purple Rep was took control over my computer. They thought it's not able to working so we disconnect after i decided to trying restart for two times. It's great working.

But it is lack of 16 SDD, no 802.11N, no bluetooth support, 4-cell battery which shorten battery life.

I want:
120 or 160 GB HDD
802.11N support
More 2 GB RAM
Bluetooth support
6 or 9 cell battery

Its cheaper price at $199 after discount code. but I unfavor it.

Netbook is impossible to get 2GB or more in that tiny netbook, it is still fast enough for the 1GB!

Not Vista or Windows 7.

You need 2 GB RAM to full performance on both of OS.

BTW thechaostheory...the price is the same. But you will have to pay for shipping & handling in additions to taxes. It will get you $500, maybe more, maybe less. Our store, you don't pay for tax nor shipping. ;)

*rolls eyes*- I have two netbooks, an asus eeepc, and an hp mini 1000, the first of which i got for 230usd (that was BEFORE netbook prices had fully come down) and the second for 350. AFTER taxes. and my hp has features that don't come built into most netbooks- a 32gb ssd instead of 16 (I don't like hdd for netbooks), dedicated graphics memory, and a 6 cell battery.

Having usb ports is not a noteworthy feature, nor is the built-in 1.3 mp camera which, in the lighting conditions shown in the advertisement, would render the signer virtually unseeable, mind you.

Most netbooks have more or less the same thing. Same processor, same storage ranges, similar battery lives.. the only way to really stand out is to put that same bundle at the most competitive price.

and at 400$, you're just not doing it. Especially for a computer that will be borderline useless for vrs.

I couldn't believe that removed it.

I already download when they release. It good and big positive is dial real number instead of ip address. I can call SVP, OJO, and VPAD. I am glad to see they did success and only HOVRS is one ahead than any VRS eve Sorenson.

Purple is about to shine...:cool2: It time for wear sunglass.

Again.. anyone already download.. would you kind share to send file to us :) like JClarke didn't get chance to do it.
