I was reading an online newspaper and the headline read as follows:
Company subsidiary will make ultracheap mobile phones for
surfing the Net
my question is instead of writing: for surfing the Net
could I write: to surf the Net
Would this mean the same and are both correct, which one is better?
thank you in advanced

1) "Company subsidiary will make ultracheap mobile phones for
surfing the Net"
2) "Company subsidiary will make ultracheap mobile phones to surf the Net"
Both are grammatically correct, and I guess they would mean the same (choice # 2 is still giving me a little trouble in clarity). Being a native speaker, I would say choice #1 makes the better statement, and is the best choice.
Yes, choice 1 sounds more natural.
To me, choice 2 feels forced.
Winner: Choice 1
