HP indicated that a 3G WWAN-equipped version of their newest netbook, the HP Mini 1000, would be coming sometime in December. Christmas may be coming early this year folks. According to various sources, you can enable 3G on your Mini 1000s already via a simple hack.

All you have to do is download a driver and slide your SIM card in a hidden slot under the battery. Really, that’s it. This has been proven to work on model number #1033cl. No word on if every Mini 1000 has that mysterious SIM card slot. If you have one and you got this working, let us know.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a pay phone, but then again, I don’t live in Moscow either. After hearing Comstar UTS and Moscow’s City Telephone Network plan to construct 200 Wi-Fi pay phones in Moscow, I was all ears.

RF Design explains how new phone booths scheduled to be installed in Moscow will allow all Comstar customers access to access the internet. The new phone boxes are said to be installed in train stations, airports and hotels as customers will be able to use pre-paid cards, SIM cards and MGTS phone cards to access the internet.

These new and improved pay phones will let people connect to a Wi-Fi network using their laptops.
