Quickly following the announcement of the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 earlier this month, Vodafone made their own announcement about the upcoming availability of a subsidized model that was expected to be available “in late September.”
At the time the details were light, and pricing was still unknown. The latest addition to this story comes as a little bit of good news and some bad news. First with the good news, Vodafone users will be able to get the Mini 9 for free with a two-year agreement at £25 (around $45 US) a month. So far it sounds good, but this is where the bad news comes in: the data plan only offers 1GB of transfer per month.
Sure, most users tend to use quite a bit less than what they actually believe they are using, however 1GB is really low. Personally, I would rather opt to pay for the Mini 9 and just have a data plan on the side as opposed to the bundle. Sure, it may be a little more expensive that way, but at least I would not be limited to just 1GB of transfer.
