eWEEK Labs recently put the HP Mini 1000 Model 1151NR netbook bundled with Verizon's mobile broadband service through its paces. The Verizon service works reasonably well, but it is clearly a newer technology in need of refinement and more consistent performance. The 1151NR, one of the nicer netbooks we've tested, is among a handful to come bundled with built-in broadband.

- Mobile Broadband Bundle
Verizon offers its mobile broadband service bundled with the HP Mini 1000 1151NR. - Powering On
The mobile radio must be powered on from the VZAccess Manager. - Try, Try Again
Occasionally, multiple attempts must be made to power on the mobile radio especially in low bar areas. - Connect to WWAN
Once the mobile broadband network is found, the user clicks on Connect WWAN at lower right to enable the service. - Statistics Tab
The Statistics tab in the VZAccess manager shows speeds that can burst up to 1.4 megabits per second. - No Bars
Note that I have no bars for VZAccess, and this is 35 miles north of Boston in a densely populated area. - Text Message
A handy tool is the Text Message tab in the VZAccess Manager.
