Super ultra mobile - travelling with only a N95

I'm closing off my other blog but thought this might be of interest so it's an old post but I'm moving it here to not lose it:

Super UMPC(P) travel
This trip I decided to travel super ultra mobile. No 7 inch UMPC for me. No 5 inch UMPC. No I instead opted for a Nokia N95 with a Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard


All my email goes to my mobile and I figured I'd only need to send a couple of emails and possibly logon to the intranet (which I can do from the phone too actually) a couple of times, so I thought I'd probably get away with this ultra-portable setup. I did.

I successfully conducted all my business from the phone/keyboard and even did these blog posts. The N95 has all sorts of connectivity options, wifi, bluetooth, 3G internet, etc. I found the wireless handy for the free wifi in the Qantas club and otherwise when away from a wifi I could connect via 3G. It wasn't perfect as the screen is very small and the keyboard can get a bit tiring to type long comms on, but overall I was very happy and know I could do it again no problems.
