Be careful about services that connect to your cell phone. My experience is that the dedicated cards such as the Aircard 550 are reliable, and useful (in laptops). The serial links to a cell phone don't seem to be reliable. I have been working with a dozen laptops with Sprint using an Aircard 550 and have been very happy with them. The real speed throughput is about 56k-62k in both directions. I have been looking forward to Verizon's push into LA and Vegas with their 3g network such as they have in San Diego and D.C.
