Whatever is causing this problem, I'm pretty sure it's not the processor.]]>May 18th 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/Agree?]]>May 18th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/
Otherwise you're paying more for the netbook, AND an annoying dongle, plus the same service.

Now if you want to switch between a few different laptops, then obviously you would want the dongle over having it built into the netbook. I guess that's why you can choose which one you want...you know, because people are different, and have different needs. Novel idea, huh?]]>May 18th 2009 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.amazon.co.uk/Compaq-10-2-inch-Bluetooth-Wireless-Networking/dp/B001PYIZUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1242672020&sr=8-1

Survey says yes.]]>May 18th 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/Wish they had the MI (mobile internet == ubuntu) version of the HP mini 1000 available with the Verizon 3G service. I might have bought the HP instead of the Dell, in that case.

As for "does it still make sense in the face of devices like the Mifi"? (or cradle point, etc.)

Yes. I say this as someone who does in fact want a mifi, but for me, I have 3 or 4 mobile devices in addition to my phone (which doesn't do tethering). I don't carry them all at once, but I need them to all have a simple, easy to configure/set up, and standard interface for the internet, that doesn't somehow require nor imply "ms windows", thus a mifi or cradlepoint.

But, for those who just have a non-tethering phone, and only want to carry a netbook ... it would make LESS sense to also load them up with a mifi or cradlepoint. Plus, they can't use an Express Card (no slot for it), and a USB dongle can be annoying with the usual netbook placement of USB slots. So, internal 3G makes a ton of sense for those netbook users.

Better way ? YUP !!!

So you have a winmo smart phone or you're thinking
of getting one. Either way, you'll be required to add the
additional data plan....on top of regular monthly rate.
That part I did with the Omnia i910 - $99.00

I bought myself a little bit of an upgrade netbook, going
with the EEE PC 1000HE. $339.00 -rebate-

Now I want to be able to access the NET using my netbook -VIA-
theOmnia's already established connection. AND I do not want
to add even more fees by paying Verizon for tethering fees.


Since verizon strips ICS from their software lineup...
[internet connection sharing]
I simply installed a working CAB of ICS onto my
Omnia. Followed a couple of instructions, and now
my netbook connects to the web either by bluetooth or
with USB cabling.

My download speed on both devices average anywhere from
700kbps to 1.7Mbit.

Been running this setup for six weeks now, and totally
impressed with the simplicity of connecting my netbook
to the internet.

298 for a acer aspire one plus 59.99 for an aircard no rebate
hp mini 1000 is what 299 no rebate same 59.99 a month
300 to 500 for an independant netbook wireless connectivity still 59.99
then whats the problem here nothing your just cheap
lolz jk but yeah think about it your buying a device then out of all these its about 50 dollars or more cheaper then the competition etc 50-200 i dont get why you guys keep on adding the cost per year when your buying a device that hp will service for hardware and that verizon will service for its air card feature again stop adding it up its useless 199 for a netbook 59 for service or 300 to 500 for a netbook and additional 59 for service what you want ]]>May 18th 2009 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/
VW Basic 450 = $39.99
VW Connect 450 = $69.99 (Unlimited Data)
VW Tethered Data Cost per Month = $69.99-$39.99 = $30
VW Mobile Broadband per Month = $59.99

Monthly Savings = $30 x 12 months = $360

It's $360 / year cheaper to tether one's existing phone than to have both a phone and a broadband plan.]]>May 18th 2009 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/

I think there is also a setting where it will disconnect if it detects a faster connection, so if you connect to WiFi, the datacard won't connect.]]>May 18th 2009 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 18th 2009 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 19th 2009 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/May 28th 2009 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/verizon-hp-mini-1151hr-hands-on-and-impressions/Aug 7th 2009 8:37PM
