Assuming that you're talking about accessing the internet via a cell phone provider's network (as opposed to WiFi), one interesting budget tradeoff may be whether you buy a PC card (PCMCIA) for your laptop vs. buying a phone that supports tethering (i.e., a cable to your laptop). If you buy the card AND have a phone for voice communication, it seems to me that you've paid for two cell phones.

It would be worthwhile hearing from those who have evaluated the tethering approach.
