Verizon Wireless HP Mini 1151NR Launching This Week

Word has it that Verizon Wireless’ first netbook offering in the guise of the HP Mini 1151NR will be arriving on May 17th through all channels – virtual and conventional. It is also the day where Verizon’s MiFi personal hotspot drops. There is no word on pricing, though there are whispers of a $199 price tag to accompany the 2-year contract alongside a mail-in rebate. Of course, bear in mind you’ll still need to fork out anywhere from $40 to $60 monthly for data access, which means across the span of two years, you’ll still need to spend a fair bit.
