I have the DO card for my notebook through Verizon on the all you can eat plan for travel. I then have a cheapo, no data Sprint plan for my phone. As a result, I have all the web access I want and cheap cell bills. I find that I don't need data on my phone. Plus, I'd rather go to my notebook when I travel. Don't think I ever pay more than $125 a month for both. Works for me.

Engineer, Re: VZN / Sprint phone / plans- thanks for the info. While at Costco this AM, I stopped by the wireless booth (VZN, Sprint, T-Mobile). The lady appeared to be very informed of both the Vzn and Sprint products. + They expect Sprint of offer the Treo700 (EV-DO) soon (month or little longer). + The Sprint unlimited data plan is much cheaper than Vzn (she uses Sprint), $10-$15 plus the voice plan ($29/ month for 400 minutes). Looks like Sprint’s cost would be $40-$45, whereas VZN would be $100/ month (40 + 60). + She said she can’t understand why anyone would opt for VZN once Sprint get the Treo700 on the shelves. + Sprint does not officially support the phone use as a modem for the laptop, but many use it that way by buying the connector equip and software from Radio Shack. She said it’s easy to set-up.
