I considered purchasing an NB205 and tried a blue and a white model out in two different stores. Each time I tried typing in Notepad to see if I liked the keyboard or not I experienced the following symptom. Randomly while typing the window would lose focus and the cursor would jump to the desktop. This happened several times. I then went to the other store where the same thing happened. Needless to say I decided not to consider the NB205 in my purchase. With two units doing the same thing, it is probably not a bad unit.
I tried lifting my hands up in the air to be sure I was not accidently hitting the touchpad, and although I can't be certain I didn't touch it, I am fairly sure I didn't. It seemed like some process in the background was grabbing the focus and cursor, as well as a slight glitch went through the screen at the same time. I'd like to give it another try, but not sure when I'll be back to the store.
I came into the forums to see if anyone else was experiencing this problem, and found this thread. Typing, the ability to touch type at speed, is the main criteria I have for choosing a netbook. I was interested in the Tosbhia because of the reptutation for reliability and the long battery life, despite the slightly heavier weight.
Hope this helps someone.
