Yes, it’s official. Verizon Wireless announced yesterday that the HP Mini 1151NR netbook would be hitting Verizon Wireless Communications Stores starting on Sunday May 17th for a price of $199.99 after a $50 dollar mail-in rebate and a new two year activation on a Mobile Broadband plan from Verizon Wireless. 3G service plans will begin at $39.99 per month on up – depending on your data bandwidth needs.  This certainly isn’t the cheapest netbook subsidized system out there but it’s the only one available from Verizon Wireless. Your option? Go buy a MiFi 2200 Internet Hotspot device for $99 dollars and then find yourself a cheap netbook. You still have to subscribe to Verizon Wireless mobile broadband but at least this time you can also share your bandwidth with multiple Wi-Fi enabled devices (up to 5).
