high speed through my phone? Do I need a special phone?
I have a laptop. My cell phone is older though. I can access the internet on it, but it is a Sony Eriscoson T29a
High speed, no. Internet, yes. Also depends on your phone, but some phones, you can plug you computer into the phone and use the phone as your router/modem. You will need some software to do that and a cable.
yes there is a way i have a blackberry curve and it comes with a disk that you put into your computer and load some junk takes about 5 minutes and you use the usb cord for the phone and it gives your computer internet for free
a treo works well with the qwerty board and larger screen. ATT with Cingular. The internet is dependent on the area you are in with the signals you receive on your phone, but it is not a laptop and is no substitute. i have a treo which has decent speed for internet and web browsing.
the only other phone i know of geared toward internet by touch is the iphone from tmobile with the screen that flips out providing access to a keyboard, however you will need a power source. battery life does not last long.
