AT&T to Offer $50 Netbooks - Don't do it!!!

AT&T will begin selling netbooks with integrated wireless Internet cards, selling them for as low as $50 — with a data plan contract, of course. The rollout will begin in Atlanta and Philadelphia.

People, Tweeple, and everyone else who will listen. NerdBoyTV does NOT recommend this. Wanna know WHY? When I did it, they failed to tell you that the 3G Broadband data transfer limit is ONLY 5Gigs per MONTH. My seven days of use (including overages) totaled $1,900!!!!! AT&T did reverse the charge and let me off the hook for maybe $50, but dammit, this almost gave me a heartattack. Better to buy the netbook outright and use with WiFi (free) or get an unlimited 3G plan (which are getting rarer if not impossible to find cause they don't really want Tweeple like me who stay connected like 24/7!).

NerdBoyTV says, "No, No, No. Buyer beware!"
