For the new "HP mini netbook" from verizon wireless, do u need to have a verizon phone and contract to buy it ad had Internet access? I really want one since they are only $199, but I have an iPhone with AT&T. Please help. Thank you!!

From what i've read online leading up to the release of it, you do need to get a contract with Verizon if you don't have one already.

You can get an HP netbook from other places too like Walmart for about the same price, give or take a few bucks tax. Then just use AT&Ts wireless internet service. I don't know how good theirs is though.

All else fails, go to a Verizon store in your area and ask.
