I have WiFi Uverse at home, wouldn't use the 3G here. On the road when you're not near WiFi, then you can use 3G. What are you going to be doing downloading 10 torrets at once? I have a regular 15.6 HP I just bought and I wanted a netbook for longer trips like plan flights. Being 3G I'm not limited to certain connections. Most Hotels and Hostels have cheap WiFi at good connection speeds. When would you actually be using the 3G and run to the cap??? Why all the moaning?

Very soon accounts showing "excessive data usage" will be paying higher data rates than accounts using "acceptable/normal data usage" . The system will identify these accounts and a text message will be sent to the user advising them that there data usage is excessive and they will be charged and extra $10 or whatever they will charge for "hogging" data channels by teathering. Www.phonescoop.com has an article that at&t is doing the same thing. I'm sure verizon and sprint will follow suit. It sucks I know, but when a buch of people start teathering on a cheap data plan it slows down 3G for all other customers and that sucks for the customers so I can see their point. Personally I feel the excessive data charge is justified.

Nobody is really going to t-mobile for netbooks and web services just that 49.99 unlimited plan. All the big execs and business users already have one with verizon or AT&T, because t-mobile dosen't cater to those type of customers, they cater to the lower class which in theory makes sense but they have no use for a device like this probably will never know how to use one ever in their life lol. yea its pretty much pointless.
