Data Options for Laptop -> Moto v551 -> internet

I'm not sure if I understand how Cingulars data offerings are organized. I'm planning on getting a V551, and would occasionally like to use my laptop to connect to the v551 (via bluetooth) to connect to the internet.

Can anyone point me towards to the options/costs?

I've tried searching cingulars website and the forum, but am still not 100% clear.

you would want to add a data connect package to your account (ranging from 19.99 to 74.99)

the software is available at

Thats for the EDGE/GPRS right? Is there also something equivalent to the Verizon feature where you can get approx. 56k (via bluetooth) or 14.4 using the cable, either for a lower price, or just using airtime minutes (as verizon does). I'm a soon to be former verizon customer so I'm new to the non-CDMA crappy crippled bluetooth phones world. 😁

I should probably be more specific, I've found the Media Works 19.99 package that offers "unlimited data" and am trying to figure out what exactly they mean by it.

that refers to using the interent ON THE PHONE itself, not THROUGH THE PHONE using a cable.
