Samsung and Telstra announced a partnership today, with the Samsung N310 mini notebook now available with a built-in Telstra Next G wireless modem.

The notebook also features a Next G SIM and pre-installed wireless connectivity software, eliminating the need for an external USB modem. Telstra’s Next G network is Australia’s largest national wireless broadband network.

Emmanuele Silanesu, National Product and Marketing Manager of Samsung Australia IT Division, said, “The Samsung N310, designed by leading Japanese product designer Naoto Fukasawa captivates the imagination with its minimalistic pebble design and tactile feel. The N310 connects online on the move with a built-in 3G SIM on Telstra’s Next G network.”

The Samsung N310 is available from Telstra dealer Leading Edge Telecoms for $71.46 per month including 400MB of data.
