Internet Access via Cell Phone HOWTO

Nate Carlson writes "I've been searching for a decently fast, inexpensive wireless 'net access solution. It's finally here! Sprint recently cut their PCS Vision pricing so that US$40/mo gets you unlimited data and 300 voice minutes to boot. I've written up a document on how to get this working with Linux - it works great, and averages 7-12kbytes/sec download speed. All I can say is, wow!"

    ...but if you have to involve your PC in the process, why bother surfing from the phone at all? You get a much better viewable area, and better browse control, through a PC than through a phone's browser. Did I just misread this writeup?
