I've now arrived in Hamburg and pursuaded the hotel to let me check in for tomorrow "early" at 5am. Thanks to the forum and the Wind mega-no-limit I've managed to work as if I was in the office today. I am now sitting in the hotel with my laptop online to E-Plus UMTS (via wind), X-Lite connected to a sip server using the GSM codec so I can make calls for next to nothing and people can call me on my Edinburgh number at no cost to me :D

Now onto test the callkey and wind combo in Sweden and Denmark tomorrow.....

You mean you'll be back to the same hotel tonight - clever.

You could get a cheap gps set-up for your PC; after all you hardly need all the expensive bits (up to ?2500!) that the cars have like connection to the abs sensors or even gyros like inertial nav in airliners, just for the times when the satellite signal goes when you're in the ferry to R?dby or the ?resundsbron tunnel ...

I'm waiting for Xten/CounterPath to bring out new PocketPC version of Eyebeam, rumoured for a while* - then I'll have to get a new PDA!

You could get an Edinburgh number from Skype and forward it to your CallKey ...
