Verizon Wireless goes exclusive with the HP Mini 1151nr netbook

Verizon Wireless proudly proclaims to the world via the Sunday paper inserts that it has gone exclusive with the HP Mini 1151nr netbook. This is a partially subsidized promotion, but subsidized by you, not by a 3rd party :)

You get this deal after a $50 debit card delivered via mail-in rebate. It also requires a new two-year activation of one of their Mobile Broadband plans, which start at $40 per month.
