Default Re: Netbook help

I am unaware of any netbook that comes with a wireless card installed from a cellphone carrier if that is what you are refering to. All have standard wireless cards as already stated, but you need access to a signal to use them.

Depending on your cellphone, carrier, and plan you can tether your phone and use it as a modem. I have an Acer Aspire One and love it. My cell phone provider is Sprint and for over a year I have a hack that allows me to use the phone as a modem with no issues and no extra fees. I watch hockey games etc at work this way.

One other cool thing you can do is run OSX86 on most of the netbook and it runs like a champ. Currently running 10.5.6 and it is a lot of fun to play with. All though I believe dell is the best one for this mod as you wont have to replace the wireless card like I am doing.
