I picked up one of these Aspire One ATT 3G netbooks today @ Costco. I wanted the non-3G version however; the folks @ Costco let me buy this thing instead.... The ATT Rep was obviously pissed off cuz I didnt buy into their BS 3G two year SCAM!! BIG RIP OFF!! The outside of the box indicated the system included BT 2.0, WIMAX, WiFi and the "crown jewel" 3G SIM card slot...BFD... I get the machine home and........ NO BT, NO WIMAX!! I asked the ATT rep how much the data plan $$ and how long? He proudly answered $60 per month.. Then I said why so much? He said, "Thats a GREAT PRICE!" Then I pulled my BB Bold from my pocket and asked the same question...(I knew the answer..) With a confident tone he said, $30 per month... Then I said, "Why would I pay $60/month for 3G access when I can just hook up my other netbook via BT and blaze the net all day?? Then he comes back with some BS mumbo tech answer, made NO sense.. Had him cornered at that point. After his last answer, I ended the discussion by taking out my Nokia n810 (pre paired) w/BB Bold and the look on his face was priceless!! Bottom line.. ------>"ATT more bars in more places....for the engineers and sales reps to get drunk!!" Aspire One 10.1 nice netbook. Costco has a great return policy!!!
