Turns out that through a small program names PDANet I can turn my Trēo into a wireless modem for my laptop. So, if I even need to be online, don’t have a WiFi connection, and the Trēo just isn’t enough, I can hook it up to my laptop and I’m connected in seconds. (Assuming I have Sprint service. I’m just wondering about my next trip to Savonburg, KS.)
