1 edit | actually.... It will probably be with Sprint since they have concentrated so much on providing service along major roads. And with the roaming agreements Sprint and verizon have in place, you will probably be able to roam data on verizon, but not worry about their pesky TOS issues.
Of course, if they want to provide real speeds, they should go with Cingular HSDPA. Reason being is you are not always going to be in a 3G area, and I'd take EDGE over 1xRTT ANY day. | |

| Or your can buy the mainboard itself and simply choose a PCMIA card from the provider of choice, maybe even all three providers with a mainboard that supports it and simply create a nice wooden case with a DC power supply with a small USB 802.11G card to supply in car WiFi or run ETTS (Ethernet to the seat). After that's all done simply wire the power supply and stick the wooden box in the trunk. Maybe also add a FLASH mudule to load up a 1GB flash drive to install Linux on.
A fun project to those who are technically inclined.
Of course if you want to go really small and just swap cards without breaking the bank, this is for you >>

Only 32.50
The total cost for the card you choose as well memory and flash drive will vary.

Of course you can get the free one if you wish (going cheap is not always the best thing)

After that some standard RAM will do, also since it has a PCI slot you can forget about the USB card and simply slap on a cheap 20 dollar Prism2 chipset card on there. Of course if it where me, I would simply just run the ethernet under the carpet and I simply pull the cable from the passenger seat.
