Yep. I did that with my P3 netbook a month ago. It's much better than XP but I still don't like it. Everything is too small for me. I don't like the tiny mouse pad and keyboard. I'm going to keep my Macbook and sell my Hackintoshed Netbook.

I took Purple Netbook to the hospital, work, favorite burger joint - Wow! Connects everywhere so far. I installed (downloaded) the Windows Messenger, and even was able to use it to connect with old friends using the Netbook camera and IM.
My hearing friends are envious. hahaha, not kidding though.
I have mostly used the text relay, cause I still a littly shy about my signing and whether my makeup is on on right
If I miss a call, I get "Purple Mail" which is ASL or an AIM instant message.
OK, I dont work for the company like some guys, but it must be a great job. I love this Netbook thing. If you haven't tried one, you should. Text Relay, VRS, and VCO and P2P, whats not to love. It surfs great too. I am using it now.

You are entering the information age a little late, yes? 
My hearing kids have this too. It is called, buy a netbook of your own at BestBuy.

I've been using it for a while now. I'm loving this netbook so far.
The P3 software needs updating. We need missed calls, or an "answering machine". Would love to be able to drag P3 to my larger external monitor when at home. Even without these updates I like it a lot.
Would also be cool to develop some kind of flasher to work with it via USB. In the future I wonder if it can be built in? I know that this netbook is a regular Dell, so not likely to ever have a flasher built in, so why not someone develop one that works via USB and somehow flashes existing home flashing devices that we have?
This netbook is better than other wirelesss VP's that I have seen so far. Purple has a winning idea!

If you go to Purple website, sign in and add info with IM from your phone (if you have one) you can get a page when you miss a call. You also may get Purple Mail if you miss a call. Are you using their router or did you have your own?
Contact Purple, they explain all of this. They are very, very helpful. In two weeks I got follow up call from Purple to make sure all is ok. Never answer my emails at all, but good otherwise.

I've got my email set up with them. However, I don't think it pages you when you get a VP TO VP call. It only pages when hearing caller calls through VRS right?
i was ordering a netbook from purple website and i was given a 5 letter/numbeer discount code and entered it but the discount code doesnt work!! why did the purpleteam giving me an invalid code because it is expiring this monday for cool price of 149.00 its only till monday any idea?
Actually, you have to wait till this monday to use that discount ur rep get it. If you arent sure, please contact them back for clarify
Nope, it can get done by v2v or VRS either ones.
P.S the one you recent said, its sorenson's signmail for VRS only.

Hey I just saw a demo for the P3 netbook and it's awesome. How about a downloadable P3 software for regular laptops. I'd really love to have the P3 software running on my Gateway FX laptop even if I gotta lug the big boy anywhere lol.
Is Purple working on a downloadable version? If so sign me up for that
Edit:...Never mind I found out I could get P3 on the FX...Sowwy I been sooo behind on VP news for quite a long time lol....

Purple HQ said that P3 9-inch Mini netbook is no longer to sell. now sell 10-inch Mini netbook which includes 160 GB HDD and six-cell battery. Sell at $149.00 each. no tax and free shipping. D-link router cost $20.00 in option. I don't know which one is Dell Mini 10v or Mini 10. I will find out what s tech specs.
