Sprint Nextel Tuesday unveiled dual-mode 3G/4G-embedded netbook and notebook computers, both made by Dell, at the 4G World conference here.
The devices are considered the first such dual mode devices to be announced by a national wireless carrier.
The new offerings include the Windows 7 Starter-based Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook that is free of charge — after a $100 rebate and the signing of a new two year service agreement with Sprint. Sprint also unveiled a Dell Inspiron 11z notebook computer that runs Windows 7 Home Premium and sells for $149.99 after a $100 rebate and the signing of a two-year agreement for Sprint service.
Both devices will go on sale on Nov. 14 at Sprint stores and on Sprint.com, the company said.
Sprint’s 3g/4G service plan is priced at $59.99 a month for unlimited 4G data and 5 GB of 3G data.
