Hi,

Just an update the query I asked a while back.

Due to lack of time and other factors, I bought the Advent Vega on 
recomendation.  I managed to update it and get the android market option 
installed.  It survive the holiday and it worked pretty well.  The only 
issue was that I didn't have internet access for long periods (due to 
the location of where I was) and so didn't get to do the contacting the 
family as often as I wanted. The other thing I didn't realise at the 
time of buying is that it didn't have the gps option.  You have to rely 
on a wi-fi connection for updating the maps.  No satnav type option.  
Anyway all in all, I am still pleased with it but will now try living 
with it.

Thanks again for all the replies, they were a great help.  Just a pity I 
didn't have more time to make a more informed decision, but still happy 
with my purchase.
