    Soldier deploying soon and would like to get one of these on hand for the sandbox. I'm looking for the following options.

    1.6 Ghz CPU
    2 Gigs of Ram
    XP pro (valid copy with license), and dual boot to Ubunto
    GPS (an internal gps unit with an external antenna would be SWEET)
    WiFi a+b+g
    Bluetooth
    A bigger hard drive then the stock included (if the limit is 160 then so be it)
    emmissive keyboard
    touchscreen a plus, but not necessary
    Cell modem for middle east region is also cool, but also not necessary
    a decent and fair price (I don't make a killing doing this, this is really for you not me)

    Let me know if someone can hook me up wit ha nice machine

    Skater,
    I have a 1.6 that I will be getting today. It has internal GPS and WIFI. Will not have internal Bluetooth, but that is easy enough to add in several ways. I can put in any size HDD you want (stock is 60GB), size is not really an issue as with XP Pro (it has a COA) you can use what you want. It is a non-touch and it has a standard keyboard. There is a seller on eBay now with the emmissive for $175, but I think he only has one left and started with five this morning. If you are interested, PM me and I will give you a quote.

    Since you are a newbie, you will not be able to pm, so email me @ [email protected]

    You are correct, and only if it has the 512 standard.

    And what kind of time-frame you looking at? The more time we have, the more chance of getting all the options you want. And what is the price range?
