No? Mm..

I know Mini 10 and Mini 10v have same specs, but little different about upgradable RAM.. If Purple selling Mini 10, thats meaning you can't upgrade 2GB RAM. Because 1GB ram soldered on motherboard inside netbook. Mini 10v can upgrade 2GB. So about display specs..Mm.. Wow, I am doubt about it. So I will stop by Best Buy store does selling Mini 10. I will play it to see if Mini 10 had option setting for screen resolutions, tonight or tomorrow.
 
You are right..

Nevermind...

Dell 10's specs

you are right about RAM memory.
 
It is so nice not to have to text everything on little cell phone. I can make i711 or hovrs calls or even use im to connect with friends and family. It may not be an awesome computer for everyone (but it really is) yet it is an awesome video phone. If you dont have one, you should.

It really impressed our IT department. They are all hearies and had never seen any type of relay service. It seamlessly connected to the guest network and P3 came up. They were fascinated. I wanted them to set me up on our secure server, so almost everyone in the lab came to check it out. They were amazed at how easy it was to set up and how clear the pic is. They had seen lots of netbooks, but being hearing folks, had not seen one set up like this.

Once again, thanks very much for the info abt P3 and the netbook. I think it is some of the best tech money you could spend. A mobile video phone that can go from room to room, office to cafe, almost everywhere so far. It is nice to put in my bag cause it is light. It is fun to use cause its easy. It never fails to attract a bit of attention because it is small and quick.
 
P3 does not accept incoming calls but only outbound calls, right?

No. It accepts incoming calls, but only if it is on and P3 is running.

Oh, really? How can it answer the incoming call?

I tested P3 software (not netbook) using other videophone but nothing came. But outbound it works. So tell me how?

I do not know why yours does not work. P3 works on both my Purple Netbook, and on my laptop. Check your Purple Account online and make sure everything is set up correctly.

Yup, it should but it didn't so I called support earlier tonight. They think it must be a bug in the P3 software and suggested me to uninstall and reinstall P3. They said there are some people experienced with few bugs while some were fine. He tested using his P3 netbook calling my P3 and it popped up fine while other videophones, nope... strange.

Also I have the same local numbers for both MVP and P3... he suggested me to register as a new user at hovrs.com to retrieve a new local ph # and choose P3 so it would have its own numbers to separate. So I gonna do both ways tonight.
 
My screen flashes and hubby says it beeps. I have option to answer or no. Hope you can get it going. You will love it.
