T-Mobile releases new mobile broadband netbook deal

Communications giant T-Mobile has ended the year with an exciting new mobile broadband netbook deal that was launched on Boxing Day.

There is little doubt that in the UK 2008 has been the year for mobile broadband, with a rising number of providers entering the market, an exciting range of products hitting the shelves, and an array of deals and packages being launched. All of this has given consumers plenty of choice, some highly competitive mobile broadband deals to select from, and has ultimately resulted in the popularity of mobile broadband soaring.

Competition has quickly become stiff in the mobile broadband sector, with major communications giants such as Vodafone, Orange, O2, and others at loggerheads to see which can offer the best deals, the fastest speeds, the lowest prices, and attract the highest number of customers. Amongst the various incentives that mobile broadband providers have offered are free laptop or netbook and broadband packages.

One mobile broadband provider, T-Mobile, has ended this year with a new offering to customers who are looking for mobile broadband deals. On Boxing Day the communications giant launched a new mobile broadband package that includes an ASUS netbook, a fair usage limit of 3GB per month, two hundred free texts, Wifi Hotspot access, and download speeds of up to 4.5Mbps.

The package will cost £25 a month on a minimum 24 month contract. The netbook that comes as part of this deal comes with a 8.9-widescreen display, an Intel Atom processor, 1GB RAM, a 80GB HDD, WiFi, a card reader, Windows XP Home and a webcam. Whilst ACER had originally been the laptop supplier to T-Mobile it apparently failed to supply the required number of laptops, and was therefore replaced with ASUS.
