I picked up one of those this morning as well, but will be returning it in the morning. Getting the western European maps on it will cost me more than the whole thing cost, and that's why I bought it. Ah well, helps to read the fine print.
I already have Route 66 on my Nokia N91 for outside of Finland... will be using it on Saturday to navigate my way through Leeds. This mini one however, is just for the wife's car, which we have never taken outside of Finland anyway.
I have the European maps on DVD, but they are for S60 Nokias, so perhaps not compatable, but I agree, the maps are a bit expensive.... I have heard it rumoured that cracked versions of the maps for most GPS devices can be found floating on the Interweb... of course I am far too honest to check this out myself.

What about the Acer x 222 LCD screen 222 euros ?
It seems to be OK when I saw the monitor/tv on Wednesday, but I prefer a samsung or an LG for a monitor and I brokered an excellant deal with veikkonkone a few months back.

Does that 500 GB external drive have network connectors (RJ 45) or only USB 2.0? It would be good to connect the external drive directly into the wireless router... You can even access it from the internet with the right settings. My wireless router does not have usb port.

Well I have this friend...and he looked online and couldn't find anything. He even noticed that the maps for the nokia and other devices wouldn't work with the Mini.
Now this friend of mine, could probably be talked into going halfsies on the western Europe maps...

Got my tickets in the end. turned up at 7:30 jumbo, for the internet queue was 45....I was told the other queue was a lot longer. Finally got to the machine at 9:20. Didnt get the exact flights I wanted but good enough, saved a packet which was nice. Only thing to from the whole experience was whilst waiting it was hard not spending more money on the sale items. Had to resist on a lot of the children cloths.

I almost went and bought Canon 400d kit in Stockmann Tapiola, 579 euros. However, on Friday morning I found out that Verkkokauppa sells the same stuff as Stockmann during Crazy Days, but even cheaper. So I got my lovely cam for 539 euros and I will still get 60 euros back from Canon.

Oh I checked ebay before, so dumm bin ich auch nicht.

I don't do bidding and "buy it now" was round 490 euros plus shipping. Didn't want to wait, too much hassle(hoff).

We went top Stockmanns at 15.00 Saturday..thought we were in wrong place no queues ..
Just a couple of staff chatting to one customer at a PC..
One came and asked if he could help
"Where do we take queue lippu?"..
"No queues now, where do you want to go and when?"
"London last week June for 4 day!"
"No problem then..is Tues at 14.05 and return Sat 16.10 OK?"
"Fine..Visa..zip zip.."
Less than five minutes!
Got home to find an Email with the confirmation...plus an E Mail from Blue One "Special offer to London HR during summer...232 pounds"...3 pounds cheaper than Hullut Päivät price. .but... How much do Blue one charge for Coffee and a cheese roll? Finnair still feed passengers for free,

BTW, is that into Terminal one still ??? I used Finnair airmiles for my trip to LHR at Easter but found myself on a BA plane both ways. Luckily I came back on the Tuesday /T5 "opened" on Thursday).... but I just wondered.
You were lucky though cos at the last Hullut Päivät when I booked for Xmas I couldn't get the seats I wanted and that was at the crack of dawn on the day they came on sale.

Sometimes the prices there are silly too. Best deals you get when theres a new model come out and they're dumping the old.

T3? We left Heathrow T1 on Finnair 26th March. They must have only just changed then!

AFAIK nothing. Blue1 serve the same sort of cold breakfast to the UK as we had on Finnair to Manchester last Friday.
