Question Need info from PC Nerds

I need an education!

I have a HP pavillion zd7000 laptop and would like some info on connecting it to the internet via my cell phone. I have a data port on my phone (Motorola V400 GSM) and service with cingular.

If any one has used this type of connection how was it?
What hardware do I need? My laptop has built in wireless, card slots, and infrared.

Thanks

Cingular has an unlimited laptop connect for $75 a month.

The hardware they were showing were pc cards and external wifi antennas. I wouldn’t think I would need that with my laptop being wifi ready. I thought all I would need is their software and a USB connector for my phone. Then again, I don’t know so that’s why I’m asking. Their tech support person was rather vague or I maybe I just wasn’t asking the right questions.

I’m totally blonde on this subject so use crayons and draw pictures.
