AT&T Netbooks, only $1159
I saw an ad on TV about AT&T practically giving away Acer netbooks. Here's the link of note.
So, it's $199 for a netbook, as long as you sign a two-year contract for a DataConnect plan... and that's where they get you, as they say. $40/month, plus $199, makes this a $1159 computing device over two years. Oh, and the $40/month plan is capped at 200 mb/month. Uhhhhh yeah.
This seems to suck significantly more than I expected.
Back to Plan A, being an Android phone on T-Mobile and a tethered POS laptop. Now to figure out if their data plans are unlimited. (I've been having creeping problems with my BlackBerry 8310, which is why I'm looking at this now.)
