This is a pretty nifty offer particularly while 3g data cards are still quite new. I think it’s a good deal for both www.dabs.com and Vodafone. Here’s how it works:
Buy a laptop from Dabs (that has a PCMCIA slot to take the 3g card). Dabs are pitching the entry level £429 ex VAT Acer model in their newsletter for this offer, but it applies to any laptop purchased.
Call up Vodafone and give them the laptop serial number and order number once it’s arrived.
Your 3g card will arrive by 1st class post.
You get 10mb of data free to get you going. It’s pay-as-you-go after that @ GBP2.35/mb.

Insight did a similar deal on all Centrino laptops a while ago.
It’s a great deal and the Vodafone 3G cards are not network specific (http://www.x11.net/wiki/index.php/Unlocking_a_Vodafone_3G_Data_card_on_a_PowerBook)
That’s a handly link Dan!
