Wow
only £600 for a netbook and 1 whole Gb a month on the internet - where do I sign up ?
Using Paris because there is no 'fcukwit' icon :-)
Vodafone will be offering Dell's Inspiron Mini 9 netbook for free when it starts selling the HSDPA enabled version of the Small, Cheap Computer next month. To get the Mini 9 for nowt, you have to take out a two-year airtime contract priced at £25 per month. Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Dell's Inspiron Mini 9: free via Vodafone …
Say £279 for an Asus 901, £30 for modem & £10 month PAYG for 1Gb. That maxes out at £549 over 2 years. Better computer, better coverage, and even less because you don't have to pay when you don't use it and you can switch to another better deal anytime.
No contest. Who uses the once great Voda these days and why?
Firstly @ John Latham its an internal HSDPA card, most likely Novatel. Not sure what bands or HSDPA/3G classes. Probably 3.6Mbps.
Bearing in mind it's internal thus hidden from luser I wonder how many customers will be ringing up Vodafone when something internet related f**ks up expecting them to fix it!
