The Dodge Retort: HP Mini w/ Verizon Review
My full review of the HP Mini Model 1151NR bundled with Verizon mobile broadband is now up at eWeek.com. In any case, I give it a B- given the inconsistent bars I got, but it pretty much works as advertised.
A better option for Internet ubiquity is the MiFI 2200 mobile hotspot which I also reviewed for eWeek. The full review was filed yesterday and I will link to it when it is posted. In a nutshell, the device - smaller than an iPod Touch - is mobile broadband in one end and up to five WiFi connections out the other. And you don’t have to deal with Verizon Access Manager on the host after the first mobile broadband connection is made. After that, you simply switch on the unit and it automatically connects to Verizon’s 3G network.
