ok could I buy some sort of adapter to hook this up to my home desktop and use this for internet access vs dial up or satalite. Wild blue is not selling in our area due to overloading or what not right now and no dsl or cable
Sure it can be done. But it would be a costly option if you use the connection very much. Sprint would be a better deal than Verizon. But you should check the coverage maps linked in the BBR story to see if your zip code is even covered for wireless broadband.

we are covered by their wireless broadband but would you think it is really that costly when I only have the choice of 24.4 k dial up and hugesnet sat internet. Seems like about 80 dollars a month would not be that bad if my only other choice would be around the same price with a sat. going with sprint of course

That depends on how much you use it. If Sprint and they don't cap you, you could use quite a lot of bandwidth. If Verizon, you'd have to make sure you followed their terms of service and weren't using it to stream music or videos, etc. or they could drop you. The cost is reasonable if it fulfills your requirements and you can afford it.

my main use is playing World of Warcraft and watching the occasional goofy you tube video or break video other than that just basic surfing.

Sprint now has phones that connect to computer via USB and it will give you EVDO speeds. The new 7130E blackberry and the new 700 Treos have this capability. When you have the unlimited plan for wireless it comes out inexpensive since you can use the phone as well.
