I'm really tempted to get one with the cash back offer but not too sure about the resolution TBH.

Have you used it for long periods of time? I think I might get frustrated using the mouse thing in the middle of the keyboard.

not had it long enough to really comment on long term usage, i also bought a mini bluetooth mouse but havent really used that much as the pointer isnt too bad when you get used to it

800x480 works ok on my xperia (3" screen) tho the ability to point tap to zoom in does make it a lot easier to use...

This is true, i have a HTC Touch HD.

would it be insured, travel insurance maybe?

FatalSaviour · 14 Sep 2009 at 13:11

Ouch. I feel for you buddy.
Best worth checking both home and travel insurance. Personally, my insurer (Amex) excludes all hi-tech equipment such as laptops unless you pay a premium (which I did), but your home insurance might cover this?
Fingers crossed...I was just about to comment at how nice it looks...

I get free travel insurance from my bank, ive phoned them and they will cover upto £350 per item whilst travelling, unfortunately i didnt take accidental damage option on home insurance, ive phoned sony this morning and am waiting for a call back on repair cost, my guess it will be quite a lot more than £350!

£400 so whilst it was a little more than most i think its still pretty good, the biggest shock was that it plays 720p and even 1080p video perfectly fine

Nice machine,you got a bargain there,I saw it over here for a 1000 euro

Ouch thats very unlucky, thats one problem with ultra portable sonys the screens are extremely delicate, if you have no joy with insurance you can maybe get a fixed price repair done if the part is less than £300 at a certain high street store. Its around £239 i think.

I'm not surprised in the slightest, they won't sell you the parts either if you wanted to fit it yourself.

Extended warranties on some laptops are very worth the money.

i hate companies which do that, it should be made illegal.

its more than the original unit FFS.

Travel insurance only covers max of £350 per item

household will cover it i guess but I have a £250 excess with them

could try and claim the £350 then use that to pay the excess and be £100 better off lol...........but as it stands sony wouldn't give me a written quote so the insurance wont proceed until i get some kind of quote.

Bradmax57 · 18 Sep 2009 at 22:56

whats annoying me is no one is prepared to do me a quote, the highstreet store someone hinted at want £50 to say its broken, amazing
