[pohu]

just an update.. called CORBELL just now to feedback my wireless connection problem.. Corbell had since feedback to MSI, who replied Corbell that there's thing problem with the BIOS.. and advised me to bring my WIND to their office for a re-flash of the BIOS, which would take 1-2 min... FYI

Now this is interesting... If the Wind has no built-in CD/DVD drive, why would MSI provide recovery disks in CD format?

ASUS also does that with the eee pcs..

How does Mininote compares with this?

Pray hard for that... as it was really DLJ for the constant disconnection while hotspot surfing..

Hi WindBoi,

I PM you to check with you your wireless set up?
e.g. wat brand & model of router you using?
I would like to replicate the environment here.

As mentioned, we have tried the wireless connection in our office with at least 5 sets of Wind notebook for 5 days already, downloading drivers/utility non-stop, just to make sure that disconnection does not take place, when we are not surfing. So far, we could not detect any of the network disconnection issues when we test it in office.

Nonetheless, i feel that the issues tat you guys feedback do exisit. I wanted to test more sets, but also, like to test it under your environment closer to your specs.

Is the wind available now?

 

[GeneKoh]

Is the wind available now?

The Wind is available now... But only in pink colour...

Would the Black be available soon? Any exact dates from Corbell?

I'm considering the black Wind or EeePC 1000H... If either one comes first and is reasonably priced, I'll go for it...

Thanks for the feedback, I certainly pray hard that by reflash the BIOS will solve the problem..btw would u guys able to show me how to use the Bluetooth function of the WIND.. very the blur as each time I on the WIND bluetooth and my PPC's bluetooth, they dun seem able to find each other ...

Then it's true - the bluetooth reception is horrendous. Try placing your phone on top of the keyboard, in the centre.

If you want to know, the bluetooth module is slightly to the right of the touchpad.

I also having the disconnection problem, keep "Acquiring Network Address" with my Belkin draft N wireless router even in the same
room at home with WPA password. but there is no problem when install the Linksys USB adaptor to the WIND, notices that the WIND's realtek wireless IC can only receive my router's signal but the linksys can find many other wireless signal nearby.
