Orange has formed a new partnership signed with Hewlett Packard under which the companies will co-distribute and market a range of consumer notebooks and HP Minis with mobile and/or fixed broadband access. The three-year pan-European agreement will underpin the delivery of connected offers in the UK, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Portugal, to be followed by a rollout across the Orange footprint.
Among the offers is the new new Compaq Mini 700 which, in the UK, allows customers to buy a ready to use Internet connected notebook for GBP30 a month. The package includes Orange’s “Internet Everywhere” mobile broadband service and dongle as well as a 3GB data allowance and 24 month manufacturer warranty.
