Best Buy and Sprint are offering Compaq Netbooks for only 99 cents and this netbook has embedded broadband capability. You must understand this same netbook will cost you $199.99 from Verizon and $399.99 with no telcom contract. This offer comes with a 2 year contract with Sprint at $60 per month. So you will pay $1440 over the two year period and Sprint makes a profit of $1050 for this business deal. Wow! It sounds too good to be true.
