In the market for a cheap netbook? Then the HP Mini 110 might be for you — depending on your definition of the word cheap. Verizon Wireless is offering the Mini 110 for just $29.99. But there’s a catch: You have to sign up for a 2 year service contract at $60/month to get that price.
In other words, over the course of the contract, the netbook will run you $1470. If you’re in the market for a 3G enabled netbook that can connect to Verizon’s wireless broadband network from virtually anywhere, that’s not a bad deal. But if you just want a WiFi capable netbook you can certainly do a lot better.

I agree, if one is already ready to pay the monthly fee, it is a true bargain.
It would be nice to pay the full price on a 3g netbook and have a pay-as-you go connection. It would be like buying a phone and paying for minutes as you use them.
You can. Just buy the CPU then go on a month to month term. NO biggie.
I know there are 3G netbooks one could get without a cotract but are there any 3G plans that one can get without a contract? I know they can do this with cell phones but for 3G modems? I did a Google and found a ‘pay as you go’ mobile broadband; Broadband2Go.
