Verizon HP Mini 1151NR Netbook Review

Topic:

Verizon Wireless announced the $199.99 HP Mini 1151NR 3G netbook offering a week ago. Our review partner Digital Trends took the HP 1151NR netbook to the test and published a review.
As expected the review is not that positive as the HP Mini 1151NR is simply not a top of the line netbook
Quote from the review: "Mobile computing is tough for international travelers. You may have a mobile wireless card from a U.S. phone carrier, but if it's a CDMA card you won't be able to use it in Europe, and if it's a GSM card, you won't be able to use it in much of Asia. Read more

First Verizon Netbook HP Mini 1151NR rumored for May 17th

Topic:

Subsidized netbooks are about to arrive in the United States. We already reported about AT&T offering 3G netbooks in selected markets. BoyGeniusReport has a rumor up that Verizon will offer the HP Mini 1151NR starting May 17th.

Apparently Verizon is charging $199 with a 2-year contract for the data service for the HP Mini 1151NR. It is funny how U.S. carriers still get away with charging $99 or $199, where in Europe you get these 1 Euro deals on the iPhone and on netbooks of course as well. Read more
