Hi Guys, I need help and elonex are shut over the weekend. I have selected the alternate (children’s theme). The problem is now I can’t do anything except what’s on the taskbar!

Any suggestions much appreciated

P.S. I got the Dutch site translated by http://babelfish.yahoo.com. Just in case you need it.

Turns out the WiFi issue is a known problem and is documented on the Dutch support site http://www.trendtac.nl/faq.html. Had to change the channel on my Netgear router from 11 to 1. Connects OK now but does drop the connection regularly. I guess it should work OK with a different router?

Anyone managed to get WiFi to work? I can browse OK if I have a Lan cable connected but WiFi connects with IP address invalid. If I put in a valid static ip address, netmask and gateway. It accepts but still can’t browse in Firefox

I received mine this afternoon (Sept 3rd) and at first was not impressed. OK the dimensions were there on the official site, not that I noticed as I took note from the picture of the young female with it at her hands. Nonetheless, I unwrapped it and took out the laptop and mains charger to discover upon inspection it is not as pictured on their site: http://www.elonexone.co.uk/onet.html.

Upon further research, I discovered the picture in question is the OneTwo, the first I had come across it. The OneTwo, you may notice, has ‘Elonex’ close to the power button, under the screen; the LED lights below the keyboard section are split into two, either side; the OneTwo has ‘code technology’ on the right hand side by the LED lights.

Now it’s ticking inside my mind that ‘OneT’ stands for ‘OneTwo’. But the designs are slightly different and this at first had thrown me off, thinking I had received that which was not portrayed on their site. But I’m cool with it now, only I’m charging mine at the moment and until it has sufficient power in the battery, my OneT will not power on.

Pity, I’m being too eager, which is understandable considering I was told when I had pre-ordered that it would be arriving in June, then July, then August only to eventually come in the first week of September.

I had e-mailed Elonex after the notification of the 2nd delay to ask if they would therefore upgrade customers further from the OneT to the OneT+, since they did do so previously from the One. To no avail. Elonex should really show the OneT on their site rather than the OneTwo. At the moment I cannot power it to find how it really works, right now I’m pleased with it. I have big hands and fingers so will have to get use to typing on smaller keys.

got mine early this morning. my first impressions are:

Very small and light
Stylish looking
Bright and clear displays
Easy to get around
Internet problems, wifi rarely connects
With ethernet is fine
Bit slow on applications
Mp3′s play smoothly
When internet working, general websites such as ebay run fine.
Have not tried to run video.

Good value for money, so long as i get my internet problem fixed.

Still haven’t received anything. Ordered both Ones and Onets. Have completely lost interest and am now looking into buying an Acer Aspire one.

I’m still waiting! Maybe it was the stroppy email I sent them yesterday when it didn’t turn up as promised…?

And I thought I had ordered early enough to be near the head of the queue too.

Hey, ho. 21st Century Customer Service, eh?
