Any UK supplied netbooks with built in 3G?

[Marf]

I've just started up my own small IT company offering IT services to small businesses and home users, and I want to get myself a netbook to use on site.

I'd like it to be mobile broadband enabled, but I dont want to have to use a dongle. I've seen that some of the more popular netbook brands are available abroad with built in sim card slots, are any officially available here yet? I've not managed to spot any

Cheers

And all of these machines do not use a USB dongle? I'm specifically looking for a machine with a sim card slot built in.

edit: I dont want to go on a contract, I'd be using a paygo sim as the data useage I'd require wouldnt be very high.

The newer Toshiba NB200 has 3G buit in, we use the here at work. And very nice they are as well, we run XP pro on them with Vodafone contracts.

Cool, thanks. Any more for any more?

Thanks Doug I'll check them out, had a brief read of a review on RegHardware, sounded pretty good and I like the look of the machine overall.

ALL of those manufacturers make Laptops with SIM card slots built in. You're in IT?!

Support, not supply, but hey, thanks for the inference that I don't know anything

I'll look into it a bit more then, from an initial google all I can find is the world and his wife offering me a free laptop for a £25 a month 24month contract, which I do not want.
