Knowledge on HP Mini 1151NR Netbook?

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/hpnetbook/overview.jsp

I am thinking about getting one of these and figured you guys could tell me everything I need to know.
(Some of you may remember me trying to get my computer running, well I decided to scrap it and maybe go with this.)
Why are they asking for a phone number when I try to buy one online?
I already have a phone and want to keep it. I can’t imagine using this thing as a phone. lol

Pros? - cons?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.

All verizon services are associated with phone numbers. Even my FIOS is tied to my ATT cell phone n umber.

If you want a big PC for gaming and actually doing stuff on it, you may want to go further than a Netbook. If you just want to be mobile and browse the web, IM, etc, its fine.

“browse the web, IM, etc”

Yeah, that is really all I use my home computer for.
Thanks.

they are the only netbook I can activate through our program, lol

I am posting from my new netbook that I purchased friday at Verizon. So far so good. I haven’t posted from home in over 2 months.lol It is sweet surfing from anywhere!

Sometimes the connections takes a couple tries and it is not always super fast but overall pretty sweet technology

Edit: I got das boot while trying to post this the first time.
