Virgin launches Virgin Media Freedom with wireless broadband plans

Virgin Media is offering a netbook with 3g connectivity called Freedom to customers that sign up for a wireless broadband service plan. Plans range from £31 to £58 or about $52 to $96. If those plans seem expensive, that’s because Virgin Media bundles its 3G packages with other services including landline telephones and TV.

PCPRO got to spend some time with the Virgin Media Freedom recently, and they were generally impressed with the screen, touchpad, and overall build quality. The netbook has an 8.9 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 120GB hard drive. it has 802.11b/g/n WiFi and comes with a USB 3G module, since there’s no internal broadband modem.
