What a great Netbook.

After looking around for a couple months I finally found a Netbook that I can carry with me just about anywhere without lugging 20lbs of stuff with me.

The Toshiba NB205 (I got it in the color Sable) is a very light weight < 3lbs computer with a great clear screen (10.1″), includes 1GB of RAM, full keyboard (Main difference), great touch pad though I prefer to use a mouse.  Includes 3 USB (Charging type), Bluetooth and WiFi and a battery life that appoaches 9 hours on a single charge.

Don’t have to bring a charger with me any more, can have full wireless access by using my USB720 WWAN card with Verizon…

Obtained the unit from Amazon which included the 6cell battery for $399. I have since upgraded the memory to 2GB (~$24) and plan on getting a replacement for my USB720 with the MiFI 2200 wireless portable EVDO router soon.

Been using this now for several weeks.  I got an inexpensive but very usable case, which holds everything I need and is under 5lbs complete.  Leaving my much heavier HP notebook at home now.
