3. Was it easy to get working?
4. Who is your service provider?
5. How affordable is your data plan?
6. What else should users know about that phone/provider/plan?
1. Yes, I tether to my phone if it's urgent and i'm not getting a wifi signal (nights and weekends if at all)
2. Motorola E815 with 1.1E.00 firmware (if you have this phone, there is a reason why the firmware matters).
3. It took some searching and I had to try a couple different solutions before I found the proper one to work.
4. Verizon Wireless
5. Data plans are a rip-off, no further comment.
6. http://mark.cdmaforums.com/DUN.htm - I went with option 2 for my phone, easy and effective. The following is all you really need to do:

Step 1: http://mark.cdmaforums.com/DisableEVDO.htm
Step 2 (the difficult part that took forever to figure out): Install OpenSSH and follow the rest of the instructions in Post #4 - http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=14930

Works like a charm!
