3 UK, part of Hutchison Whampoa, has won the Best Mobile Broadband Package title at the Mobile Choice Consumer Awards 2009. The mobile broadband deal, which won 3 UK the award, includes the Samsung N130 Netbook with its 10-inch LCD screen and Intel Atom processor and an HSDPA-enabled USB modem, with a monthly free data download limit of 15 GB for GBP25 per month.

Last night, 3 triumphed in the category of Best Mobile Broadband Package at the Mobile Choice Consumer Awards 2009. In 2008, Mobile Broadband from 3 took home Tariff Deal of the Year.

3 beat off competition from Vodafone, The Link, O2 and T-Mobile as the ultimate netbook and data package.

The judge's comments: "The standard aspect of 3's great value Mobile Broadband deal is not so much the excellent Samsung N130 Netbook with its 10-inch LCD screen and Intel Atom CPU, but the amount of free data available every month. A mighty 15GB makes this tariff a market leader, reflecting the requirements of real life like those data-sapping media transfers. Featuring an additional 100 free texts per month, this two year deal from 3 costs just £25 per month, and makes 3 the clear winner if Best Mobile Broadband package."

Marc Allera Sales & Marketing Director at 3 said: “We are delighted to be recognised as winners for our Mobile Broadband year on year and to be able to offer our customers deals that are great value for money. We are very proud of our Mobile Broadband offering and to win at the Mobile Choice Consumer Awards, yet again, validates our position as market leader.”

The INQ1, voted the GSMA's 'Best Mobile Handset or Device' in February this year, also took home Best Handset for Social Networking. INQ fought off stiff competition from the HTC Hero, Nokia N97, LG GW520 and BlackBerry Curve.
