But some of the additional things you can get with the updates include an msn like internet tool, rss feeds and many more usefull little extras.

...(flights abroad) then you can always buy a second battery for about £5, the screen quality and graphics is very good considering this was made a good few years back and finally the gameplay. This is where good judgement is required, there are soooo many games out there that you could be going through a list for hours however many of those games have poor graphics, very poor gameplay and can be completed within days.

Advantages: Good for any type of gamer
Disadvantages: Online costs extra

Simple, affordable, easy to use, fun to use, family fun! With prices dropping, XBOX 360 is becoming more and more popular. It's even cheaper than the wii!

There is also a headphone socket which fits most types of head phones for when you don't want to disturb the rest of the train. 5/5 Range of Extra ... Read review
