Purple HQ said that P3 9-inch Mini netbook is no longer to sell. now sell 10-inch Mini netbook which includes 160 GB HDD and six-cell battery. Sell at $149.00 each. no tax and free shipping. D-link router cost $20.00 in option. I don't know which one is Dell Mini 10v or Mini 10. I will find out what s tech specs.

But it s 16 GB SSD. I dont like small GB. New P3 Mini 10 is 160 GB HDD.

160 GB sounds like a main and only one "computer". Mini is just an execellant thing for a travelling so means that I do not need to use it as a main computer for my daily needs. Therefore 16 GB is plenty for traveling. Let it alone for vp and email and small word/excel processing. That is suffecient enough...
 
They are pulling Mini 12 out of their line and putting Mini 9 back in the line which is thrilling news. I have upgraded my netbook to 64gb ssd, replaced the wifi card to an N networking card where you would have to disassemble the netbook in order to do that. my next project to be doing an internal GPS soldered on my wwan card.

I'm using Windows 7 on it without any problems.

Is an N networking card working well with a 108 mb wireless router?

Hey Purple Guys... I read the FAQ and found out that Purple Netbook is offered for free the same way MVP is offered for free.

The reason for the price is that if a customer want 2nd one, then they can purchase 2nd one.

READ THE FAQ!

Thanks Chevy57 for confirming it's the mini 10 (not the 10v). Looks like I might be getting one if I can get the $149.99 price from purple that I saw someone got it for in this thread.

Just remember that BB Tour doesn't have Wifi. Which is a BB fail! :lol:

Yes that's true! According to CrackBerry site, it states that RIM (BlackBerry Maker) intends to roll out a first BlackBerry with Wifi for CDMA carriers such as Sprint, Verizon and Bell sometimes next year or so. Using a Wifi network is a lifesaver! It is way beyond faster than 3G & 4G's speed.

Your post don't make any sense.

All CDMA based BB has no WiFi included because they get better signal than any GSM service.

BB Curve (8330) and BB 8830 has no WiFi either.

Sticking with BB Bold and don't complain about BB Tour since they aren't release to world, except for US and Canada.

Foxrac, you fail to understand how the great advantage we can do with WiFi network. If you travel to other country using a WiFi Blackberry to be implemented on WiFi network at one of any hotspot instead of using either CDMA carrier Sprint or Verizon's international roaming partner's cell tower and it literally SAVES you several thousand of dollars on bills. Why? Your American carrier does not know where you are at when you are on WiFi network! In facts, most of the carriers charge you $10 per MB using data in other countries.With a blessing WiFi charge you N O T H I N G. You see why many travelers personally prefer to purchase a BlackBerry with WiFi feature.

Got it, mate?

That's right, it is because the WiFi is closer to where you are :)
