Mobility Site - View Single Post - Probably a pretty basic question about internet/bluetooth etc

I want to use my X50 to connect to the internet when I'm out and about and not near any WIFI type spots. Can I do this via Bluetooth through a cellphone or through one of these Audiovox cards or any other method and if so: 1) is this sort of "tethering" allowed by any/most/some providers? 2)What sort of speeds can one get in terms of receiving data/web pages? 3)Any recommendations on what phone, card, and/or provider to go with?

My need is simple - I'm often out in the field which can be a warehouse or an estate or a business and need to access the web to lookup some specs on an item or see what competitors are selling an item for, etc. I have both a CF slot and SD slot barcode/EAN scanner which I'd like to use as well in my Axim to scan in information and then transmit that via I hope, bluetooth, through my cellphone, to the web, to get information on that product. So whatever I go with, I'd have to be able to use one of the slots on the Axim for the scanner.

Any help out there is appreciated!
