I saw a couple of pcmcia cards that allowed you to hook a cell phone to it to get wireless internet access for sale on ebay and I was wondering if anyone had tried these out. The card itself is on like $20-$30 bucks, but it said you had to buy a certain cord to hook to you cell phone. I was just wondering if anyone had gotten one and tried it out. Also, anyone know how much the cords are? I've got a nokia 3360. This would be a sweet concept if you could connect at a decent speed, and if the cord/card didn't cost too much. Thanks in advance anandtechers!!!!

I'm looking at something like that now but hearing a lot of FUD. Sprint is my service provider and they claim to speeds up to 5x faster than dial up. They claim "unlimited" in one sentence but .20 a minute in the next. I'm still out on a limb with this one but will be watching your post. Good luck!

I've seen those......they're way to expensive. I was talking about a card that connects to a cell phone, rather than a cell phone card to put into the laptop. Apparently no one really has any experience with this??
