I'm not in your position, and I don't know the value of the cell phone, and I don't know the condition of the netbook. If we're talking brand new in the box, I will say that I would prefer the netbook over the thinkpad, but my needs are very different than yours. I do not intend to use the netbook as a desktop substitute. I realize the limitations of netbooks and only use for light word processing, email, and internet browsing. If I want to run sound forge or Nero, I know I'm gonna have to use something much more powerful such as my desktop. Please avoid the mindset that this netbook will do what your desktop does or will perform like your desktop does. If I were you I would fire up Google and run an Amazon.com or newegg.com search for this netbook and read the reviews. Usually you will find over 100 reviews from all kinds of people doing all kinds of things using netbooks.
