Orange to bundle free Eee with HSDPA modem, airtime
Posted by: Oleg Puzanov In: Gadgets
Asus EEE PC
Orange will tomorrow offer Brits Asus’ newly announced Eee PC 900 16G for… well… nothing at all. Orange will expect however, punters to sign up for a two-year, £25-a-month airtime contract.
That package grants users up to 3GB of data transfers a month and up to 100 text messages sent from the machine.
Orange UK’s deal follows similar packages offered elsewhere in the world, including the 50p Eee offered in Japan, and a £78 Small, Cheap Computer deal punted in France.
The Eee 900 16G comes with an 8.9in display and 16GB of solid-state storage. It’s based on Intel’s 900MHz Celeron M 353 processor and has 1GB of DDR 2 memory.
The deal also bundles a gratis Option Icon 225 USB 3G modem, which supports HSDPA at up to 7.2Mb/s.
The Asus deal goes live on 16 August, through Orange shops and its website.
