I have been using a Samsung Blackjack as a tethered modem to my Vista
Ultimate laptop. It run 3G and has been very reliable both as a Circular and
now as an AT&T cell. Had to buy an optional tethering cable so that I could
draw power from the laptop. It works great and I never have to worry about
running out of battery. When I buy my next phone (Blackjack II with GPS),
I'll make sure that cable is the same type so I don't have to spend another
$32 bucks.

Update:

I ordered the Cradlepoint MBR1000 router and have been successfully using it

to share my AT&T wireless broadband account with several laptops for a few
days now without any glitches. I'm using the Sierra 881U USB Aircard.
