There has to be a way to get the 3G working. The modem is listed in Ubuntu using "lsusb" so it's just a matter of turning it on. I'm going to work on it for awhile. I'll post here if I get it going.
@babolatpdtp this is the 3G equipped computer yes with 2 years free from Verizon. It doesn't work in ubuntu for me. but, if i need it, i just boot into chrome os
Hey just a suggestion. In ubuntu go into the network settings and then go to add a VPN connection. There should be an option to add broadband adapter. See if you can add the verizon modem onto it.
two things: does unity work? whats battery like like?

@OnychaHazel How did you installed Ubuntu? Is there a guide or something? Can I have dual boot (Ubuntu/ChromeOS)?

Works like a charm.
I've been running ubuntu for about 2 weeks now and I haven't encountered any problems yet.

Nice work. I was wondering when somebody would get another linux on a retail chromebook.
How does it run?
I am guessing that the same process to get ubuntu on the cr-48 works on this?
