AT&T Mobile Broadband Service
This netbook features integrated high-speed 3G cellular connectivity via AT&T's mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band 850/1900 MHz 3G network (UMTS/HSDPA), which provides download speeds ranging from 700 Kbps to 1.7 Mbps, and upload speeds ranging from 500 Kbps to 1.2 Mbps.

And with the netbook's integrated Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g), you'll be able to connect seamlessly to Wi-Fi networks at home, at your business, in airports and more. AT&T is offering two pricing options for two-year contracts:

• DataConnect 5 GB: Good for heavy to moderate data usage, this plan includes 5 GB of domestic wireless data usage. Additional per KB charges apply for data usage over 5 GB. This plan is not unlimited, and not recommended as a replacement for your DSL or cable service.
• DataConnect 200 MB: Recommended for the light data user who occasionally checks email and accesses the Internet 3â€"4 times a week, this plan includes 200 MB of domestic wireless data usage. Additional wireless data usage over 200 MB is automatically charged at $10 for 100 MB; unused MBs do not carry over.

Processor

This 1.6 GHz Atom N270 processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).

Storage & Memory
This version of the HP Mini comes with an 80 GB hard disk drive (4200 RPM), which is small when compared to full-sized notebooks but is plentiful for the tasks a netbook is designed for--surfing the web and storing a decent sized digital media library.

This netbook also includes two built-in stereo speakers and an integrated audio chip that's compatible with HD Audio.

Keyboard & Trackpad
The 82-key, near-full-size (92 percent) keyboard is more comfortable for most than the thumb keys on smartphones and PDAs. The electrostatic touchpad has an on/off button and dedicated scroll up/down pad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wrong information, June 7, 2009

By	William J. Sherman (New Windsor, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You do not need to sign up for ATT's sevice plan in order to purchase this netbook. This is just wrong information, plain and simple. If you want to take advantage of ATT's high speed mobile service, you can purchase it separately and this netbook can then work at the higher speed. Otherwise, you're just limited to wired (10/100) and wireless (54g) broadband and WI-FI service.

4.0 out of 5 stars You need service plan for the discount pricing...but you can purchase without a plan and still have wireless connectivity..., June 11, 2009

By	Nik (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews

I live in Atlanta where they have a pilot program for actually selling the laptop in AT&T stores...the sales associate will even tell you...it works without a plan because it has built in wireless card, but you need the plan if you want to connect to the AT&T wireless network.

This netbook is being sold on the AT&T network because it has a BUILT IN WIRELESS ACCESS POINT CARD. Meaning, if you are in a location that can connect to a wireless port (home, work, friends house) then you can access their internet for free because of the standard built in wireless card that comes on practically everyones laptop! However, if you are in a Starbucks or someplace that requires you to pay...you can connect to the AT&T access point and use the MB's on the plan you have chosen. It's like having a back up plan when free isn't available!

It's like this...have you seen those people using their laptop with those cards sticking out on the side...those are their wireless access point cards...all cell phone companies sell them...and they usually start at over $200 to $300, but they give you a deal if you sign a 2 year service contract. Well if you get this laptop, yours will come built inside and your deal is the laptop at a really discounted price!

5.0 out of 5 stars No service plan required, June 7, 2009

By	wsom - See all my reviews

I walked through the HP Mini 1150NR purchasing process and no service plan was required. However, when I tried the HP Mini 1151NR with Verizon, I was asked to select a Verizon service plan at the first step. Without a contractual agreement for the service plan during the purchasing process, I don't see how AT&T can impose anything on me.

Amazon might have made a mistake by not requiring a service plan. If so, they could either apologize and cancel your order or honor your order to express their apology. Either way, no need to worry about paying for something you don't want. If this is not assuring, read their return policy.
