1. A verizon, sprint or ATT laptop card. (which one is best)
2. I saw someone using some sort of a pulg that hooks up a Blackberry to the compuer. How does this work and how do I get one?

Thanks

You can either tether to some phones with a wire or Bluetooth or get a specialized card. I have a Verizon USB modem with "unlimited data" on their high speed (EvDO) network that works extremely well with either my PC or Mac.
