Can I browse the web using my laptop and a cellphone?
The answer is yes. This article gives an overview for the different carriers in USA. You can connect to the phone via a USB cable or Bluetooth connection. Apparently, it is easier to connect to a CDMA network. While the GSM networks require a little bit of work.
I would prefer the GSM network to connect to an ISP. With GSM phones/network, it is simply creating a dial-up networking connection similar to the procedure one would follow with dial-up modems.
I used phonetools software and the usb modem driver for Motorola RAZR. There was a glitch in the phonetools software, which did not work as expected. But, the driver was installed.
Dial-up connections to Earthlink and AOL worked. The browsing speed was a little slow. But, what else can you expect on a wireless phone carrier network.
