It is not just skin deep changes. I find these two price points, very bizarre, $199 vs 99 Cents? Were AT&T & VZW asleep at the wheel of marketing? The cat is out of the bag,...for once Sprint delivered a beautiful one two punch, is it the dawn of a new trend!? Thank You @ Chris

It's a version of the newer 110 line of Mini's. I hope this gives AT&T and VZW a kick in the pants and gets them to match (to some degree) offers such as this one.

I think it is an incredible deal, smart marketing against VZ & AT&T! If I did not have an ASUS 900 with similar specs, I would sign up for a renewal. Battery power wise it is low capacity, and the lid cover is shiny, otherwise matt finish, more of a solid feel over the original HP. Thank You @ Don Louie

I got my MiFi for $50 bucks because I bought a Pre the same day. I’ll let it be, what’s the price for existing subs? I got my MiFi for $50 bucks because I bought a Pre the same day.

If you are still within the first 30 days on the MiFi, you probably can return it and cancel the line... then sign up for the netbook, and still be considered a new customer. Since Best Buy doesn't do rebates, you won't have to worry there, you'll be told one way or the other at the point of activation. It applies to new customers.
