So the same 3G that ATT's phones use (or something better) is what is being used to connect this netbook? That's all I wanted to know. Something like this would be nice if it holds up to abuse on the road.

Oh for anyone that is interested, the Acer that takes a sim card will take virtually any sim, so you are not restricted to ATT.

get a blackberry storm or similar 3G phone. I can use mine as a modem.

Yea, my phone is a modem over blue tooth but I think it kills your minutes...

I gotta say that this thing works rather well. I may be biased because my favorite laptop has issues right now and I don't really feel like calling "Bob" in India to sort it out.

I was looking at these some. Look like pretty sweet little rigs.

I need a new laptop but I'm broke. My daughter, 9, has been saving her money to get herself one and has a little over $200 right now. I may have to run out to Wally World to see if they have one of these and get two.

You really went and got one? Oh you went and got a normal laptop. Hey, are you bringing a computing device to the rally? I still may trailer. I have a buddy that just offered to loan me his trailer for free and a hitch is $159 installed for my car...

Then I could bring my laptop, Rogue's jacket, My leathers pants and whatever else I need without spending another $100-200 on bike luggage I'll never use again.

Mr Lefty · 04-25-2009, 02:03 PM

yeah I went and got one... updating it right now... I like it... as Rae said... it's perfect for on road trips and take'n pictures! kick ass...

my Toshibia seems to be work'n again... naturally... but I'm gonna wipe it out and give it to my bro I think... the only reason I had it was for the portability... and being it was a 17"... not the greatest in that aspect.

thanks for the find tigg...

oh and I'm riding for sure now... I need to put some miles on... and I've got monday off now... (still leaving sunday though) so I can take my time getting home... may run over and hang with Ambly if he's down...
