Anyone seen this yet and have an opinion.


I don't know how much of a data plan 5gb is but I wish Verizion had an unlimited...



Come on guys let me know what you all think.

They used to have unlimited... :c

It's a good Netbook especially for the price, you just have to keep the data service for 2 years. If you are mostly just surfing and reading e-mails, 5GB should not be an issue. :ss

You have to think seriously about what you really want it for. You are paying about an extra $800 over 2 years for the data services while you can get all the data through wi-fi if it is around and get the netbook for ~$300-$400.

If it is not your main source of internet or you are just surfing/emailing with it 5gb will be plenty. I picked up an asus 1000he netbook and use a verizon modem and find myself using the netbook over my desktop and 15inch laptop. That is a good price but be sure to type on it a bit to make sure the keyboard layout suits your needs.

My contract is up with ATT.

I have a HTC 8525 that I can use wirelessly and its small.


I will be doing some traveling with my side job and there is no wireless internet out there at the job site so I am going to have to sign up for a data plan somewhere. I saw this Verizion deal and will be putting my hands on it tonight or tomorrow night.

My wife also does some traveling with work and this would be a great "toy" for her to have while on business instead of getting a company laptop.

It says it will connect to Wi-fi and to the Verzion Network but I dont like the 5gb limit....I can get unlimited from ATT for $30....



Hmmmm





Thanks for your input so far!
