JKK should be able to do the repair for you after doing so many mods to all kinds of UMPCs and netbooks. Just a thought ... Chippy,

My $0.02, diJenerate Chippy,

Get an Q1U or Q1UP-XP (I have one and love it), and than add a otterbox case which fits both Q1U and Q1UP and can take some beating. http://www.otterbox.com/pc-tablet-umpc-cases/samsung-q1up-case/?cid=43501 2. I remember seeing somewhere Panasonic is making a Toughbook UMPC which can take a lot of beating. Since you said your UMPC usually take some beating, I think there is 2 other options:

HSDPA upgrade is easy by the way. I love mine and can’t say enough good things about it. Expensive yes but a purchase I doubt you will regret.

Is it that bad? performance wise? I have the U810 now and the Samsun Q1P which I sold 3 days ago. I was hoping that the SC3 was better but sounds like I might need to cancel my order of my SC3 which I placed yesterday. I know you say the Q1 you had was really good performance but that had XP on it. You think you could install XP on the SC3 which I know would take time because of the drivers etc... to get it to work. By the way any chance you can post what is the Wi-Fi and BT chips? Also I had tried to use Skype on my Fujitsu U810 with the video and doesn't work well at all. Any chance you can try Skype with video or just a regular call with the SC3 and post if good or bad. I might just have to get something else don't know if it would be to late to cancel order if you show that this SC3 is not really working out. Thanks.

Donating a broken device. Guess what, its a PITA for a company to give faulty equipment away. I'll probably keep it for spares anyway. My track record with UMPCs is pretty bad as I usually give them a very hard time! Aha. Donating a broken device. Guess what, its a PITA for a company to give faulty equipment away.

Considering the usage scenarios you listed, it is the best options. I've never used one before but I do know it's loaded. And by the way what is to become of your faulty Q1 ultra? I don't think it'll hurt to ask if you won't mind donating it to someone like say "me", would you? Would be great to have a umpc. Just a thought.

But you can get cheaper versions of the Q1 Ultra. (800Mhz like I had) I've seen them for $800 in the U.S. Steve. That’s why it’s the sensible choice!

I did the mod on my previous Q1. The reception with my antenna wasnt brilliant so sometimes I had to thether to get the better reception from my mobile phone but most of the time I was in good reception areas. I saw a HSDPA mod article on JKontherun recently. Have a look there. Steve. HSDPA on the Q1 Ultra is no problem. I did the mod on my previous Q1.

I've spent a lot of time optimising Vista and thinning it down but it's still not performing like my Q1 ULtra with XP. Maybe, maybe drivers will help but I doubt it. As for the extended battery, i don't really like the idea of it extending so far out behind a device that already extends out past the screen hinge. Hi.

Isn't the main problem that the Q1 Ultra Premium doesn't come with HSPDA? I too think the Q1 Ultra Premium (with XP) is the ultimate solution, but the lack of inbuilt HSPDA is the only drawback. So just is how easy it is to mod it? Hoping Chippy you might be able to produce a video or step-by-step guide to modding the Q1 with HSPDA? I've not yet found a detailed enough one for a novice like me! Off to the states shortly too, so hoping to purchase my Q1UP :) Cheers. Hi Chippy.
