Mobility Site - View Single Post - Once and For all: How to Connect Through Bluetooth Under Cingular and a 6820

I know this is an old thread but I had a couple questions I wanted to have clarified before I sign up for a data plan. I have a Moto v551 (Cingular) and an X50v.

1) We'll start off with the easiest question that is mostly a confirmation to make sure I'm not stupid. This will allow me to have unlimited internet access on my PDA connected via Bluetooth to my v551 basically giving me always-on internet connection wherever my phone has service?

2) Service - does this use the Edge network where available or does this use only the slower networks?

3) Will I be able to take/make calls on my phone while still using the internet on my Axim?

4) What data plan do I need? Media Net Unlimited, Data Connect Unlimited, or Laptop Connect Unlimited? Cingular's tech support says Laptop Connect Unlimited but it sounds like Media Net is sufficient?

5) Should I expect different kinds of performance with the different options (Media Net, Data Connect, or Laptop Connect)?

Thanks! Great info so far, I just want to double-check things just in case going with the assumption I'm stupid and you are all smarter. :)
