I have a UMTS capable phone and unlimited internet access for  €25/month. I can connect my mac laptop to the internet via bluetooth (or with the USB cable) from the phone; it works great, especially for blog reading, except, of course, Fri. Photo blog...

If you have the same or similar capabilities, you could hook up a personal laptop to the cell phone connection. Do you have the ability, or the desire, to bring your own laptop to the office? Or, are you considering this a positive maneuver by the IT department? Get some more work done and all that?

By the way, there are also cool programs that allow you to type text-messages into the keyboard and send them to the phone via bluetooth. I hated text messaging until I found this program called BluePhoneElite 2 (it also allows you to answer incoming and make outgoing calls using the laptop's speaker and microphone).
