While AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have all begun selling netbooks over the past year or two, T-Mobile offering has been notably absent. T-Mobile offers a range of 3G capable smartphones and USB modems for laptops, but right now you can’t actually buy a netbook from the company. But TmoNews reports that may soon change.
According to TmoNews, T-Mobile is preparing to offer the latest version of the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 netbook which has a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 CPU, 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and runs Windows 7 Home Premium. T-Mobile currently offers a webConnect 5GB/month Data plan for $59.99 for customers that pick up a T-Mobile webConnect USB Laptop Stick. There’s also a cheaper, $29.99/month plan, but you only get 200MB of data transfer for that price.

Out of the last Pinetrail netbooks out of the gate is MSI’s Wind U160. We just noticed Amazon.com now has both the Black and Gold models up for pre-order priced at $380.
Both share the same specs, so it’s just a color difference. Specs are: Intel Atom N450 processor, 10” 1024 x 600 display, 1GB RAM (2 max), 250GB HDD, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, 1.3MP webcam, Bluetooth, 6-cell battery (15 hours) and Windows 7 Starter. Weighs 2.4 pounds.
More information about the MSI Wind U160 can be found at MSI’s global product pages.

While Samsung has been offering netbooks with built-in 4G modems for at least a few months, to date Samsung’s 4G netbooks were only compatible with WiMAX networks. Now the company is also brining out netbooks with LTE 4g modems.
At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today Samsung announced that it would launch LTE capable versions of the recently introduced Samsung N150, N210, and N220 mini-laptops. All three models sport 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel displays and 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 processors. The N150 is generally the cheapest of the bunch, selling for under $350 in the US althought we don’t know how much the LTE modem will up the price, although it’s likely that you’ll be able to pick these models up at subsidized prices when you sign up for a long term service contract with a 4G wireless provider.
