BTW, I use a hacked (tethering is disabled in firmware by default) Motorola Razr v3m on the Verizon network. I use 1x tethering, which is dang slow, but better than nothing. It is free, but costs airtime. If I knew of a reasonably priced EVDO tether, or another network (from what I gather, Verizon is not the cheapest), I would dive for it.

I use Cingular for my internet using my Razor V3xx and some software and a USB Cable. I was in CA / OR for like 9 days and we took a 7 hr drive up to OR. As we were driving I was surfing the net using my Laptop and Razor using some software and USB Cable. In any case some phones all you need is the right software and right cable and you can use the Edge / 3G Networks off the phone to get what you need done. The software is called Motorola Phone Tools powered by Avanquest  which I think I got off of Moto's Site.
