Vaino is brilliantly-named Vaio P clone, has unlocked GSM modem

Sony’s Vaio P has a cheaper, lesser knockoff, the Vaino. It’s somewhat larger than the P — nearly Vaio T-series sized, in fact — and has standard-issue netbook specs. M8cool sells them for just shy of $400: good luck getting them to ship it to you.

UPDATE: I had a whip around the googles and found it at Eeemobi.cn for $380. It ships worldwide, and the product description says it will work with GSM carriers– but it doesn’t say which frequencies!
