I'm thinking of getting a bt modem to take on the road with me. So far I've only been able to find this one. Any experiences or opinions?
I don't know if it's Palm OS compatible...

Billionton BT Modem (http://shop.store.yahoo.com/westcoastmicro/noname.html)
Does anyone know of any other brands or places that sell them? I'm having a hard time finding them.
Thanks!

Another option is to get a BT cell phone, then use the GPRS service to go online.
For example:
You can get a Nokia 3650 ($149), the T-Mobile 300mins plan ($29.99 a month), then get unlimited GPRS from T-Mobile ($19.99 a month), then you can go online where ever you go :D.

Here's a small one from sony, that takes in a PCMCIA modem:

Bluetooth modems should work. All your Clie does is reroute its serial port via blutooth. Same principle with BT phones.
If you are around a PC or laptop everytime, consider getting those cheap BT USB devices and then just share your internet connection on your PC/laptop. Here's a how-to:

Wow! Only 19.99 a month for unlimited GPRS?
Fido(Canada) unlimited GPRS cost 50.00 a month(and of course, I didn't sign up). I have only 5MB a month.
