redditNetbook discount with data plan
This example is from Verizon. Intel® Atom™ Processor N270 1.6 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB hard drive, 10.1" Diagonal SD LED BrightView Infinity Widescreen Display (1024×576), 802.11 b/g. The comparable netbook from HP Mini 1000 XP series is $375. So $375 vs. ($200, plus over the 2-year contract, $60/mo * 24 months = $1440). Although they also include the internal broadband card, so I guess I should compare it to HP Mini 1000 Mobile Broadband series, which is $505 with the same specs.
If it were me, I wouldn’t do it, unless the only use for internet/WiFi you have is on your netbook. I’d much rather get a $30/mo smart phone plan (less money), or the freedom of the wireless $60/mo Verizon MiFi wireless hot spot choice.
