Did they change it? Just looked and now it requires the $25 plan. At $15 I would do it. It’s a damn shame they don’t include the Vphone. Why get a discount on a netbook if it’s for an AC powered device, even if it is fairly small?

Harry, I have seen the acer aspire one netbook with the atom 1.6GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, 8.9″ screen and Win Xp Home at retailers like frys, best buy, circuit city for $350. Microcenter has this same kinda deal running for a couple of months. I bought the aspire one for $100 from microcenter in Oct ‘08 by signing a deal for a 1 year contract with vonage for an instant rebate of $250 off the aspire one. The monthly commitment for vonage is just $ 14.99 a month. The one year contract price adds up to $180(around $200 with taxes) and with the superb service of vonage, its not a bad deal anyways. The only catch I would say is that I had to buy the vonage phone adaptor from microcenter for $80 but again vonage had a mail-in-rebate for $70 for the adaptor.
