Verizon eyeing a $99 netbook offering?

Rumor March 26, 2009

These days, netbooks seem to be all the rage and carriers here in the US are finally beginning to see the revenue potential. AT&T already offers a subsidized netbook and now Verizon Wireless reportedly wants in on the action. Rumor has it that one unit has already undergone testing with others possibly lined up for the future. Verizon has already offered $100 and $200 rebates for laptops but a subsidized netbook with a two-year contract might be a more popular and prudent choice. With many manufacturers already producing netbooks and many more looking to jump on the bandwagon, it would be even nicer if we see Verizon carrying several models in its armory. In this economic climate, netbooks are beginning to look more attractive than their larger and pricier counterparts. The only downside, of course, is the usual $60 per month for two years that comes along with grabbing a subsidized netbook. On the flip side of the coin however, you’re going to be paying that monthly fee anyway if you want a connected netbook

    “We” are all the people you call “idiot” in your rambling posts from time to time because we mention Sprint, dare to question the iphone, or somehow dare to not relate causality, globality, drivel, or ** diatribe** !!! Its cause and effect and “we” are the hypocrites you love to call out. And “we” are tired of your personal comments. Get it. Please. Just be cool- let’s just talk about phones.

    The same “idiots” who begin their shit by taking personal, childish potshots, like yourself?

    The same “idiots” who constantly drone on and on and on, ad nauseum, about the superiority of their Jesus-carrier? Or, simply refer to other networks as less-than, visavis universal judgment?

    The same “idiots” who haven’t a clue that when they make it their righteous cause to derail threads for the purpose of personal vendettas, they undermine their own cause?

    Buddy.
