Thanks for taking the time to break this down for me. I'm learning.
I'll be using ATT wireless formerly Cingular. I wonder if they have a data cap. I do know that it's 15 bucks/month for unlimited internet to the phone.
So ducky or anyone else, Do I need to have the wifi connection on the cell phone or can I still use the cell phone to provide the internet to my laptop? Total noob here I know.
I think what you are saying is that a phone with a wifi can take advantage of a hotspot and surf the web for free. right?

Depends on the phone and the plan. I'm pretty sure with Verizon, you'll need to pay extra for a tethering option and use their tethering software (same software that comes with their laptop cards). With the G1, someone wrote a tethering program for the android os.
