HP Compaq Mini 311c 1030sa for £299 Whats the catch?

[JennyXT]

I've found a deal for the 311c 3g version for £299

http://h40059.www4.hp.com/mobilebroadband/?exp=direct&tduid=0f2f31dd70319f85821cfb1ebc4a6ec0

There info is limited though. Whats the catch?

Can I cancel the Orange broadband after I buy this?

Identical spec? As far as I can see the NC10 doesn't have Nvidia Ion?

The HP machine is a totally different beast to the NC10. nVidia Ion, DDR3, bigger + higher res screen.

To get this for £299 you have to sign up for Orange broadband. Anyone done this before? anyone know how this works?

I notice when you add it to your basket the netbook costs £299 and then you get the simcard chucked in and they are offering a 14 day trial, so do even need to do the trial?

No it isn't and no it isn't. Smaller screen, lower resolution, less powerful.

Seems you've been told I've got one without the 3G, there's a huge thread on it - overall it's very good.
