A friend of mine does with with a 3G connection on his RAZR via USB with a Windows laptop I have not spoke to him about cost though. I think that it is implied with the 3G service as it does not make any sense to have that kind of speed on a cell phone with its limited browser. Its either ATT&/Cingular or TMobile, not Verizon.
TMobile is the only one I know of that doesn't charge an extra premium to do data, and given that they don't have 3G, it probably isn't them. The pricing structure is very strange. For something like $40, you can get 40MB/month of data. Yes, 40MB. Overage is quite rediculous. Or for $60, you can get "unlimited", meaning unless you use it too much, or AT&T caps it at something like 5GB. I think the problem is that it is very convenient, but there just isn't that much bandwidth out there. If too many people were to sign up, it could quickly become useless. You're basically sharing bandwidth with users in large swaths of area (as in dozens of square miles). David -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
