Verizon's MiFi 2200 and Netbook are now for sale

Starting today, you can purchase the MiFi 2200 and HP Mini 1151NR Netbook from Verizon Wireless. We reviewed the MiFi 2200 earlier this month and were impressed by what it delivered. It allows you to link 5 devices to it via Wi-Fi, and the MiFi 2200 is then connected to Verizon's EVDO Rev A network. The five connected devices then have full Internet access. We like the fact that it is small enough to take anywhere, even in your pocket, but the battery will only provide up to 4 hours of power on a full charge. The WiFi 2200 can be purchased for $99.99 after $50 rebate with a 2-year Mobile Broadband contract, $169.99 after rebate on a 1-year contract, or $269.99 full retail.

Verizon MiFi 2200 Review



For people who are looking for something smaller and lighter than a Laptop PC, but don't want to use a 3" screen on a Smartphone, there is the new HP Mini 1151NR Netbook. It is mainly designed for the person that wants to be able to surf the web and view email on a large 10.1" display, and have some computing power with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB RAM, and 80GB Hard Disk Drive. The Netbook comes in at 2.4 pounds and runs on Windows XP (with SP3).  The Netbook is capable of using Verizon's EVDO Rev A network, but GlobalAccess service is also available, with it using quad-band GPRS/EDGE/GSM and tri-band HSPA/UMTS. The HP Mini 1151NR Netbook can be purchased for $199.99 after $50 rebate with a 2-year Mobile Broadband contract, $299.99 after rebate with a 1-year contract, or $519.99 full retail.
