One last mobile broadband deal for you to consider. If you don’t need a new netbook but you do want a mobile broadband connection – why not consider the MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot? This small device connects to the mobile broadband connection and acts as a Wi-Fi router with support for up to 5 Wi-Fi enabled devices. Verizon currently has the Mi-Fi for a mere $49.99 after an online discount of $50 dollars and a new two year mobile broadband agreement.

Now here’s an interesting deal for those of you who are Verizon Wireless customers or thinking about moving to the mobile carrier. Verizon is currently offering a deal where you can buy a BlackBerry Storm2 and get a select BlackBerry or Mobile Broadband Device for free. What makes this interesting of course is the selection of Mobile Broadband Devices you can choose from should you not be interested in a second BlackBerry handset. Those of you looking to get a new Mobile Broadband-enabled netbook could pick up a Gateway LT2016u netbook free with this deal.. OR you could opt for the Verizon Wireless MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot (should you already have a netbook at home). The Hotspot is a nice device to have because it lets you share that mobile broadband connection with up to 5 Wi-Fi enabled devices. Keep in mind of course that you’ll need to select a data plan for that second free device…

If you had to get a new subsidized netbook from Verizon, our votes on the 311 purely because of the larger display and the ION graphics..

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).
