check with your cellphone provider.. verizon has the best wireless card for laptops but sprint isnt bad either imo. the card is around 75 bucks and its around $50 bucks a month for the service. have never had a problem whatsoever with my verizon card

It would depend how often you are using it greek...if you are going to be using it constantly and in many different places then the Blackberry might be a better choice. Likewise if you are using it in one place for several hours then of course a laptop would be better.

In that case if you are not constantly moving place to place throughout the day then a laptop would probably be the better option.

Alltell has a card that is so much better than that bulky crap that sprint or verizon will give you. Its 59.99 a month and well worth it.

Ive had mine for 6 months now and its nice. I havent lost service yet and Ive been in some pretty rural areas with it. Plus its small, not like the verizon or sprint one.

Does it stick very far out of the laptop...the one I had from Verizon stuck out quite a ways and my laptop fell off a desk and broke the card.

Thanks Kellen...sticks out about the same. Guess I will just have to be a little more careful this time around.

The size of card you get would depend on what size your laptops card slot is. Sprint does have smaller cards.
