Pocket PC Modem

Most mobile phone companies offer phones with modem capability. Since February 2006, I use PPC6700 phone modem for all my internet connection. I was paying $50 a month for the wireless card connection and modem phone service was free (at the time). I considered myself as a technologically savy person and I like to keep up with new advances in technology. I also like the idea that I could take my laptop and my cell phone I could get mobile connection. PPC6700 do have internet browser but limited, slow, and poor visibility especially if you were trying to use google map. The displayed maps on cell phone were not useful at all. For about first 6 months sprint did not charge for the internet connection nor did they offer any support. But sprint finally came to senses and start charging via per kb downloads or $15 flat fee a month for sprint pcs vision. $15 monthly fee for mobile internet connection is reasonable and very mobile.
The modem drivers are downloadable on sprint. Active Sync and modem softwares are useful. It is a nifty way to connect to internet.
