1=> Yes
2=> 8525 & i607 (when I need to tether)
3=> Yes
4=> AT&T
5=>Affordable, but I don't follow the TOS
6=>The phones I'll change depending on what I need. Service is pretty good most places I go, 3g is now in most areas I visit. The plan I have (currently the iphone plan) offers unlimited data, but not tethering. I have always had heavy data usage on my account no matter what the phone and plan have been so I'm not overly concerned with AT&T coming after me.

1.) I think cell phones are *the* most intrusive invention *every*. People oughtta be treating them like an embarassment and take calls in a quiet corner away from others, but now they take precidence over actual human contact in the fact that people take calls right in mid conversation with a live person. Put the Blackberry into the mix and you're down to behaviour that makes me wanna punch people in the face. They're bound by draconian contacts to their carriers and people should wholesale boycott them.
Please ignore me.

1. Only when not in range of wi-fi
2. Nokia N95-3 (The US model with more RAM and US 3G on AT&T's HSDPA network)
3. Yes.
4. AT&T
5. Not very. Around $70 a month total (don't even bother asking how much the phone cost...a LOT!)
6. The only US 3G game in town at the moment.

Double post by accident so I'll put my info..
1. Do you use your Internet Tablet with your phone for Internet access?
Yes, when Wifi idn't available. (rarely)
2. What kind of phone do you have?
Motorola Q
3. Was it easy to get working?
Yes, via PDAnet
4. Who is your service provider?
Verizon
5. How affordable is your data plan?
Not very (thus PDAnet). But Verizon does have EVDO service up here in NW Montana. Pretty amazing.
6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
The Q is nice, but battery life sucks. The N800 is the first mobile wireless data device I've bought where battery life actually exceeded my expectations.

2. Samsung SGH-A717
3. Very easy.
4. AT&T (former Cingular customer)
5. $20/mo for "Unlimited" data access tacked on to some form of a Family Plan.
6. The Samsung phone is a 3.5G phone, and it connects and tethers with the N800 perfectly. 3G coverage for my two primary cities of operation is very good, so 98% of the time I'm in a 3G area when I'm mobile. My only complaint about the phone is that the battery life while using 3G is slightly limited (4-5hours browsing).
