why would I buy a cdma 2000 modem for my laptop or pda and pay what I assume will be an attendant account charge for each modem's unique phone number when with Bluetooth I can simply purchase a Bluetooth enabled pda or laptop and have it rely on my existing cell phone (Bluetooth enabled, right?) to deliver high speed data.

If you don't have a separate modem and a unique phone number, you won't be able to receive calls on your cell phone while online. Some might consider this a minor inconvenience, however, I believe this would not be acceptable to most people as we have become accustomed to being available through our mobile phone at any time.
