The launch includes the T500 and T400 business machines, the ultra portable X200 and X200S, the W500 portable workstation and SL300, SL400 and SL500 small business machines, all based on Intel's new Centrino-2 chipset.

Jan Hole, Telenor's account manager at Ericsson in the Nordic and Baltic regions, said: "This is the first time we are participating in a partnership with both a PC supplier and a mobile operator in the Nordic region. We are one of the first with such an offer and believe that we will attract new customers and contribute to even greater progress within mobile broadband."
