So I'm looking at AT&T Wireless' latest GoPhone offerings, which all have a true data cable so I could take the laptop, hook it up to the cell phone, and get online.

Not really.  The data cables are all USB (which makes sence, it's four lines v. nine with Serial, and faster).  Unfortunately, my laptop doesn't have USB nor 32-bit Cardbus (to add USB ports to) capability.  DOH!

*sigh*

Wish they had GSM phones with IrDA capability, instead of USB. :(

um, you can get them. you just need to get an unlocked one off ebay -or- get like a pricey one. Some nokias do have irDA, but I'm not really sure they actually will use it as a modem.

Want to try bluetooth? half the sony phones have it.

I don't know why nokia took the ir port off all their phones.

USB was faster and used less logic to impliment. *has USB hardware catalogs*
