I've got the HP Mini 1000, not the Verizon version, and no WWAN card in it.
It's real nice.  Very thin, light, solid construction, awesome keyboard,
almost full size.  A few hacks need to be done to make it really cool.  
 
1. There is this piece of aluminized mylar film in front of the webcam that
makes its sensitivity suck.  You can pry the top of the display apart and
yank it out, big improvement.
 
2. The included 16gb SSD kinda sucks in write performance.  It is a 1.8" ZIF
drive, and RunCore makes a 32gb drop-in replacement that absolutely rocks,
especially in 4k random write performance.
 
HP publicly makes available full tear-down guides and repair manuals for it,
very detailed, that is nice.  I cant believe they put so much effort into a
cheap little netbook.
 
Also, supposedly, this is one of the few netbooks that can work in full
capacity with OSX.  That much I am still struggling with, its not easy.
 
Downside is the 3-cell LiPo battery which may give you 3 hours tops.

You sure it is not a Dell? The Verizon commercials are showing Dells but I
think they are selling FIOS not Wireless.

We are testing the Verizon unit with built in air card. I think its a
branded HP. Looks nice but still testing.

My wife has an Asus EEE PC netbook for personal use.



Loves it for light duty surfing/email/media. Shoves it in her purse for a
trip.
