Lets see, AT&T for $49 with faster 3.5G or slow & expensive Verizon for $200. Ummm, yeaahhhh....]]>May 13th 2009 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/May 13th 2009 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/
Speed-wise, I have compared AT&T to Verizon and I have found their 3G card speeds comparible...and Sprint's EVDO Rev A speed is the same as both of them, also. In area where there are a lot of iPhones, Verizon and Sprint's 3G are faster than AT&T. But for my money, I will take Verizon or Sprint's data product any day over AT&T. When Sprint teams with Clear with the 3G/4G card, look out everyone else!!!]]>May 14th 2009 2:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/May 13th 2009 11:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/

We can get the Mini 9 for $59 a month and $0 upfront.

Our plans are better as well, 5gb for $39 is the usual, im actually getting it for $34 because i have a mobile plan with the same company.

In saying that, during peak time (3pm to 10pm) speeds suck, they go down to dialup, i wonder if its the same with America?]]>May 13th 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/May 14th 2009 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/
Im managed to cut down my internet usage, i miss watching youtube but *shrugs*

I just wish peak time wasnt so bad.

And yeah, i was going to get the Mini 9 with the inbuilt 3G but i needed the usb stick for other computers so i just bought the mini 9 and stick separately. At least i *own* the Mini 9]]>May 14th 2009 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/May 13th 2009 11:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/May 14th 2009 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/May 14th 2009 2:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/May 14th 2009 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/
you'd think verizon might consider hiring a graphic designer. oh i get it, they wanna make the netbook look cheap. that's a good thing, right???]]>May 14th 2009 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/May 14th 2009 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/
Can I get a mifif card and connect to my phone account instead of having to tie up the phone?

]]>May 17th 2009 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/verizons-hp-mini-1151nr-hits-stores-may-17th/Second 3G is almost old news since everyone is rolling out 4G.
Third, without the 2 year contract the netbook is $599 and it only works on Verizon's network, like a phone, so you are stuck with the option of day passes at $15 a day.
I got an Acer 11.6 " with better resolution, same processor, VGA out put (which the Verizon doesn't have) 160 GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM , 5.1 audio, full sized keyboard, and many more bells and whistles for $329. Along with my Sprint Broadband USB card for $49 unlimited (which I already had), a Blue Tooth USB adapter ($10), and the free WIMAX drivers, it is Wifi, WIMAX, and Bluetooth ready and it is a much better option that the Verizon 10" HP, or Verizon 10" Dell (which starts at $399).

It's one thing to have a phone that only works on a certain network, but why would I buy a computer that is so limited ?

There are much better options out there.]]>Aug 4th 2009 5:02PM
