Dell Expands Mobile Broadband Options with Sprint

Dell and Sprint have teamed to help make it easy for mobile customers to access information while on the road.

Beginning today, Dell customers in the United States can customize select Dell notebook computers with integrated Sprint Mobile Broadband capabilities to access the Internet, e-mail, and data. Integrated mobile broadband technology enables easy and secure connectivity to the Internet without looking for wireless hotspots1.

The integrated mobile broadband technology is an available feature on Dell LatitudeTM D420, D620, and D820 models, as well as the XPSTM M1210 notebook, and Dell PrecisionTM M65 mobile workstation. The Dell Wireless 5700-S mobile broadband EVDO mini-card is available from Dell for $179. The card can be ordered online or over the phone with a system purchase or purchased separately for a mobile broadband-enabled system.

Sprint Mobile Broadband service is available in more than 220 major U.S. cities and 486 airports nationwide. Customers interested in this offer will be eligible for available plans including one-month free service and unlimited data access for $59.99 a month when signing a two-year Sprint subscriber agreement.

"We're seeing enthusiastic customer response to integrated mobile broadband on Dell notebooks," said Neeraj Srivastava, director of Latitude and wireless marketing. "It makes it easier to access information and get more out of a technology investment. Our association with Sprint is yet another step in providing world-class mobile broadband technology for Dell customers."

"Offering Sprint's Mobile Broadband capabilities to Dell customers means many more notebook users can utilize the benefits of accessing information while on the go," said Danny Bowman, vice president of product marketing for Sprint. "Dell is a leader of mobile broadband technology in the computer industry and we look forward to helping provide more accessibility and a great experience for Dell customers."
