I've got one word for you ... EVDO! (and go with Verizon.. the Sprint service is a little different and slower!) There is *no* reason to ever be without the internet!
DH has Verizon EVDO for his Audiovox cell phone that runs a version of windows.. EVDO works with blackberry too. That got us hooked.. now I've got a seperate EVDO PCMCIA card for my laptop... anywhere there is EVDO or cell service we have high speed internet connectivity . Most of the time it's as fast as DSL/Cable Modem, even at 60+ mph on the highway
We got stuck at a non-wifi airport for 6 hours last month.. and were able to go online.. it was a life saver. We have an hour+ commute to work, and I often go online while DH drives, to catch up on news and friends blogs. We order groceries online, pay our bills online.. and I'm getting to the point where I wish I could schedule all my apointments online, like doctor, hair dresser, oil change, etc. We're another laptop happy family.. we aim each other while we are watching tv, 5 feet apart from each other. One of our favorite things is to sit in bed with our laptops.. together
We work on the internet all day, for an internet backbone provider.. we sort of build and support the infrastructure of the internet. For us, it's not an addiction.. it's a lifestyle.. and our livelyhood... and we love it!
