Thought that the only new Netbooks to come out for Verizon recently would be the Gateway LT2016U, HP Mini 311 and Mini 110? It appears that a fourth Netbook will soon make an appearance, the Sony VAIO P Series Lifestyle PC. It will be by far the most compact and lightest Netbook currently for Verizon, and will sport an 8" UWXGA 1600x768 pixel resolution display, Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, 160GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM, and will be Global Ready (CDMA-EVDO/GSM). Though we're a bit curious about the 160GB HDD claim, as other VAIO P Series Netbooks have a 60GB or 80GB HDD, or 128GB SSD. Pricing is showing as $299.99 with a 2 year contract, but there might be a $100 rebate, as with the other Netbooks on Verizon. We haven't heard of a release date, but it might be shown at the November 5th event in NYC.
Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
