Thought I'd share some insights and pictures with anyone who was interested in it. This isn't mine but I have managed to get hold of it and thought some people would be interested in seeing it before I returned it.
First impressions are that its a little lighter than the D610, wider but slimer. The 1440X900 resolution is perfect, I thought it was going to be too small but its ideal and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have semi-poor eyesite.
The 9 Cell Battery provides just over 5:30 on idle (ie not stressed). The joystick mouse is a vast improvement on the previous line of machines and the touchpad is slightly improved (it was already pretty good).
The Sim card holder is located underneith the battery and the 3G card itself is inside the machine under the keyboard (it wasn't fitted to the model I have).
Although it was fitted with a FingerPrint Reader, there didn't seem to be software for it, so I have no way of testing that.
I was impressed with the general feel of the Keyboard and unit. It felt rigid without feeling industrial.
Anyway, now for the pictures. It has a 9 Cell Battery installed which I removed for some of the shots. The comparason laptop is a D610. Sorry for the colour differences in some of the shots, I didn't have alot of time to mess about with them.
