Verizon BroadBand Access – Incredible
I got a Verizon BroadBand Access card (formerly known as “EVDO”) 12 days ago. I’ve been on the road non-stop since then. I can’t imagine life without it. As I sit in the Seattle airport waiting for the redeye to Boston, I haven’t had to sign up for Internet, struggle with any weird logins, wander to another part of the terminal to try to get T-mobile, or anything else. It’s flawless – fast – totally effective – and trivial to deal with. I’ve already saved the monthly subscription fee ($60) through not having to pay $10 / night for Internet access in my hotel rooms and I’ve managed to squeeze in some online time at random spots waiting for things (e.g. the 15 minutes I had to wait for a cab at Microsoft today).
Now, if I could just get my bluetooth headset to work with my laptop and Skype I’d be in geek heaven.
I’ve been eyeing that… but suspicious about how ‘fast’ it actually is…. any reports on this?

You can�t use a Bluetooth headset with a laptop unless you have a Bluetooth laptop, and there�s only one right now, and it�s a Mac. According to my “inside sources,” you�ll probably start seeing mobile headset manufacturers with a USB-based solution at CES this year��
Have you tried the SkypeHeadset plugin?
