Sorry if you are tired of hearing it, though.

You are not paying $1700 for a netbook. You are paying $299 for a netbook and the rest is for mobile broadband service. It's like saying you are paying $1400 for a USB data stick. It's a fixed cost no matter what device you pick. I do agree that buying embedded devices is stupid since you are locked in to that hardware for 2 years...

I don't want a netbook with built in 3G when I can get a USB dongle for free/w plan. I don't need to subsidise a netbook. They are cheap enough without the danged 3G. Plus the small slow hard drive and only 1 GB of ram for what Nokia wants for it unsubsidised is too danged much. Nokia needs to back the FAIL wagon up and pick up the Booklet 3G. It doesn’t matter.

However, you'll most likely be paying retail price for that second machine until the carrier says you're eligible for an upgrade (meaning close to two years).

If you would upgrade to a different machine - you can transfer your dataplan and continue to fulfill your contract. It's not quite the same as w/ a cell phone - ie the dataplan and computer are not linked. At least that's the case w/ Verizon. That said if you are going to buy a subsidized netbook - at least get one w/ some juice. Not sure your 100% correct on the data plan part.

Especially since one of the selling points, good battery life, can be had from my trusty Toshiba...for which I paid significantly less than the Nokia Booklet. Frankly, I think Nokia's pulling a Foleo. Seriously…I was floored when I saw how much Nokia was charging unsubsidized for this…
