Wouldn't it be easier, cheaper and have far more options if you pick your favorite netbook for like $350 or less, get a usb network card from the carrier of your choice and use that?

Chances are in two years or less this netbook is gonna crap out, or you're gonna want something else, and what are you going to do, pay full for a datacard?

I have a 2.5 year old Sprint SW 595u datacard that works fine with any computer I have, I even toss it on a cradlepoint router and share it, macbooks, acer netbook, asus notebook, all at the same time. I just can't see getting this?

My data SIM has been in phones, different USB and PC Card adapters, different built-in 3G laptops. Just swap it out and there you go.
