Toshiba is becoming famous for terrible customer service. Any comments?

J, I have the NB205, which is the previous generation, and also tested the NB305. In my eyes, the later is better.

Now, perhaps in the mean time there are better keyboard on netbooks (the one on the Vaio M for instance is currently top of my list, from the netbooks I have tested). Still, the NB305 does offer some of the best keyboard/trackpad combos you can get on a 10 incher, that’s for sure.

In the end though, all these appreciations are subjective. Different people enjoy different things…

On a key issue (no pun intended) the keyboard for the Toshiba NB305 is alternately described as being wonderful or terrible depending upon the review.

PC World comments…

Unlike the higher-end version’s (Toshiba NB305)keyboard, with its tiny, oddly shaped Chiclet-style keys, the NB305-N310′s keyboard has a comfortable, regular keyboard.

And TechWorld wrties

But somehow the Toshiba NB305 has lost some of the stand-out quality of its predecessor. First the keyboard picks up the trendy Scrabble tiles – but small ones that feel very toy-like in action.

While CNET writes

The bad: The keyboard, while wide, has awkwardly sized keys for touch-typing;

The above review is not alone in describing the keyboard as the best ever seen, but leaves me wondering what is the truth of the matter.

Not to confuse anyone, but there’s another model which seems exactly the same as the two other brown models called NB305-10F.

The NB305-106 is currently out of stock on amazon but the NB305-10F isn’t. (UK brown models)

The white version does seem to be available in the UK, but its been renamed as NB305-105 (Snow White). Not available through Amazon though, need to get it from a supplier.

I’m looking for a blue one though. Why the heck don’t they call them the same names and have the same colours in all countries!?
