Sprint To Offer Subsidized Dell Mini 10

Following Verizon’s and AT&T’s lead, Sprint seems to be ready to launch the Dell Mini 10 with integrated 3G wireless through its sales channels. The Mini 10, sporting a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and 160GB hard drive will be offered for $199 after a $100 mail in rebate.

We here at Observer Publishing are excited about Netbook rollouts with the major carriers. However, this is just the first step. T-Mobile is hinting at selling smartphones with the option to finance the purchase price as part of the monthly fee. We hope that the carriers will quickly consider this pricing structure for their netbook & notebook offerings. That’s when we expect to see  a bigger pop in sales.
