With Bluetooth becoming more prolific in notebook PC's, PDA's, and mobile
phones, I think we can also say goodbye to those pesky USB cables...

Just FYI lots of providers are experimenting with the various gprs
connectivity options in their phones.  The problem right now are data rate
plans they f-expensive right now with the exception of T-Mobile who has
shity coverage but 30 dollar unlimited or ~20 bucks more on a normal plan.

So be carefull on your usage until you are sure your plan won't kill you for
using the data portion of your plan.

Maybe I'm just slow, but with Patrick showing off his T-mobile, I figured
I'd search and see what comes with my phone.  Although a dubiously
undocumented feature, pretty much every SprintPCS phone has high
speed modem connectivity.  You just need the USB cable.

I just got mine (Sprint doesn't sell them) and it works great...
in fact I'm sending this message while connected to the phone.
Getting about ISDN speeds currently (128K).

Just fyi... I apologize if everyone is doing this already....
Chris
