Hey everyone,
I'm getting a NZ90 next week (already ordered, just the wait :() and I'm just wondering if you can use the internet while its in the cradle (through the computer) or if you can use the internet while plugged into the computer at all?
Also, how long does it take the battery to charge, and how many hours of constant typing could you get out of it?
I look forward to becoming a regular on this community..
Thanks!

As far as I know you cannot get the internet through the cradle, but if you look and see other threads below, if you get a belkin bluetooth adapter for $50, you can connect wireless using the built in bluetooth adapter on the NZ90 and surf the web at very good speeds.

Thats quite interesting, I was going to buy wireless in about 6 months, but the Belkin adapter is interesting.
I found the adapter for AU$150, and it seems like a much nicer option at the moment.
How good is the range? Would it go through 2 brick walls? And what software do you use to bridge the internet connection..? Also can you protect the connection from other people using it?
Is there an ethernet to bluetooth adapter as i have a hub at home and would not require any computer to be on (adsl router into hub).

There is a new app in beta called Softick PPP that will let you do this. From all reports, it's still pretty buggy.
