"Perfect for someone on the go, data usage cost can GO" on by hookemup5150
Pros: After lugging around a standard laptop on the road, I was looking for something exactly like this netbook. I've compared prices at Best Buy, Fry's, and other places and hands down this is the best fit. It fits my needs
Cons: Verizon told me 5GB would be fine based on my usage description. I'm finishing my first month of usage and I'm just under the wire. I don't like the limitations and costs, but it's the lesser of 2 evils. Cost for data or looking for WiFi hotspots.
Summary: When you break it all down by cost, the cost of convenience, accesibility, coverage dependability, weight, etc. it all seems to break even. I seriously considered returning it at the end of the 30 day review, but I would feel better kicking the wife out of the house. Seriously, this netbook is the best deal around for anyone who's always on the go for work. If I could only get my wife to come back, the world would be better.

"More than what I expected!!" on by Mbamom39
Pros: Size, portability, ease of use and first time start up.
Cons: Adjusting to typing on the Mini. No CD Rom but i have an external one I'll use.
Summary: I am so pleased with this that i will give then for Christmas gifts for close family members. I've noted some reveiws that talked about glares and pixesl and Verizon has accessories for this for a minimal cost. Some want erverything included but this is a mini computer and I will recommend this very highly. Some reviews talked about how expensive it is if you sign a two year contract but this true for all wireless broadband. I currently have two Clearwire for my home and VZ Access for the mini. But i work in education and need something small, portable and gives easy internet access in some tight places and no one does this like VZ.

Pros: fast when first load it. fsst service thru verizon. like the fact of having wifi and or verizons internet built in. Internet thru verizon fast. nice design on top with bubbles.
built in cam with micro. clicks on both sides of mouse. niceCons: short battery life unless you get the other battery will last longer but its 99 dollars. sometimes the plug doesnt stay in the slot very well. kinda wish it was more than 80 gb
Summary: bottom line you pay about 250.00 really but, you get a mail in rebate for 50.00 they send you a credit debit type card within two weeks to get cash from or whatever! . you can buy a smaill case with it. and it comes with windows xp and microsoft works 9!!! i use for college.

"Love at First Sight" on by Lawdogg30
Pros: It's light weight. It has a very sleek and sexy design. Reasonable price. I am not a huge technology guy but I find this netbook very easy to use. The key board is comfortable. It comes with XP Home. Runs fast. Screen is clear
Cons: The data plans are a little pricey. I had no idea how to work the web cam, due to the fact there were no instructions on how to use it included in the box. It picks up finger prints super fast on the outer shell.
Summary: Bottom line is that I went to other stores to check the prices of other net book different brands and sizes. I found that this net book is one of the best deals out there by far. Yes the service plans are on he pricey side. Yet, knowing that I have the power of Verizon's network and coverage area makes up for it a little. This is a great deal I got my on Friday(5/21/09) and I have taken it around town (D.C.) to see what the coverage is like. This device passed with flying colors. Weither it was a coffe shop or the library I picked up stong signals. Even traveling home ( Chicago) for the holiday weekend I was able to stay connected. Thus if you are looking for a way to stay connected at a reasonable price this is the device for you. Now don't expect this device to be a laptop replacement but it a sexy ultra portable companion. Peace.
