Note that the $99 price requires a 24-month commitment at $60/month for the ATT 3G service. If you have a cellphone with available data plan it's likely that it's not a good deal, but that did not apply to me.

Wish this had been available (or I had known about it if it was) when I bought mine about a month ago since I also got a 24-month ATT 3G broadband plan separately. Ah well, things always get cheaper if one waits.

Cheers.
