Is it basically the ability to access the internet from your laptop wherever your cell receives coverage (via hooking the phone up to the comp)? Also, I thought I remembered reading it was like $80 a month just for EVDO, but that may have been just with the modem card.

Data plans on the major cellular carriers are hopelessly complicated. With luck, as more and more people sign up for it, the plans will become simpler to understand and cheaper.
Unlimited EVDO data on verizon will set u back about $50/mnth. Sprint just entered the fray so hopefully the prices will drop some.
Unlimited GPRS/EDGE data on Cingular can be had for $20/mnth but beware the reps will try to force you to buy the PDA unlmited plan for around $40/mnth. I think T-Mobile has unlimited data for around $20/month as well.
Hope this helps clear things up.
