How can you go online using a Cell Phone and a Labtop?

I always wondered how you do this ... Also how fast is the connection speed?

THanks.

I work for one of the major digital mobile phone players and know that the cell engineers use a Nokia based phone (either a 5165 or 51xx series) and use a data cord that plugs into the bottom of the phone and connects to Serial A port on the back of a laptop. Then just set the phone up like a modem.

The connect speeds top at about 9600 bps btw.
