    You are going to need to purchase the aircard so why don't you just get a
    year contract? Why be a cheapskate? Sprint has the best high-speed data
    service and therefore I would recommend them. GSM data service is slow and
    therefore I would stay away from GSM for data. Go with Sprint for the best
    data service, or if you want second best, go with Verizon.

    (all things 'dubya' being ignored these days.........)

    It would help to know what you have and what you are trying to accomplish.

    I have both Sprint air card and Cing 8525/Blackjack.

    Both Cing cell phones report speeds of ~600Kbs at peak times; 1.3Mbs in off
    hours. With the 8525, I have Wi-Fi also.

    I get Sprint connections in a lot of areas, but not all that I visit. I
    added Cingular because of the gaps in Sprint coverage.

    As I tried to explain to a Lockheed Martin engineer, a slow cellular
    connection in the middle of a cow pasture is faster than driving to the
    closest Starbucks, 30 miles away.

    Just another take on this...

    How about getting the EVDO service added to an existing cell contract? When
    you are done - in six months - cancel the EVDO service. You are not
    cancelling our contract, just a service portion of your contract.

    Or...

    Upgrade an existing plan to a Treo 700wx or similar where you can tether
    your phone to your PC to get EVDO speeds. Again, cancel the EVDO service
    after the "six months". No strings.
