Dell has made it easier than ever to get a 3G capable Inspiron Mini 9, offering it for only $99 provided you sign a 2 year contract with AT&T. The new deal is the best we've seen yet from Dell, and almost as good as other deals we've seen from Acer. Although not quite.

Dell has offered incentives before, but all that did was make the upgrade to WWAN virtually free. Now, for the same gigantic two year commitment to AT&T DataConnect, you can at least get yourself a netbook for only $99. This amounts to a savings of about $350 on the netbook itself. While we're happy to see other companies doing this, Acer did the same thing with the slighly more expensive Aspire One last month, offering savings of $400. Sorry, no points for originality here Dell.

The two year commitment to AT&T comes at $60 a month which adds up to quite a sum, so if you really just want a netbook but don't care much about 3G then beware this offer. One thing that we saw that was interesting though, is that despite Dell's website saying in bold text: "For a limited time, get a $350 mail-in rebate when you purchase a qualifying Inspiron Mini 9 with integrated broadband card and activate a new, two-year AT&T DataConnect service plan", laptoping has reported that the mail-in rebate can be activated as long as you keep the service for 90 days. No idea what it costs in early termination fees to cancel after three months, but at least that sounds like you might have a little flexibility here.
