Cellphones have yet another use, if the phone is EV-DO capable, you can connect your laptop to it and get high speed internet access. In tests by Laptop magazine, setups like this had an average connection speed of 464 Kbps- not too shabby if you need a very portable internet connection!

Okay but if you do that how much does your cell phone bill end up costing?

Sprint has a "Phone as Modem" plan that costs $49.99 per month for unlimited data, or $39.99 per month for unlimited data with a voice plan!!
