Almost any modern Verizon phone can be used to get online with a
laptop. I've used the LG4400, LG6000, even Startac 7868.

The mobile office package is verizon-branded software plus a cable,
and verizon probably doesn't bother selling cables for each phone,
which is why they offerred you only a limited selection.

Most phone manufactures sell data cables, and many independent ones
sell data cables (and my favorite, charging data cables - meaning one
less charger to bring on trips). That way you'll have a much larger
selection of possible phones. These usually come with their own
software, and are just as good as the verizon bundles.

So long as the phone is CDMA, Verizon compatible, VZW will activate it for
your account.

VZW website is not clear as whether or not NationalAccess is included in
the Single Rate Plan when you select a phone with NationalAccess as an
optional feature. Does anyone know if it's included free.

Sigh.. To avoid roaming holes in the western states.

If you stay on the interstates, AC works fine. If you travel remote
highways, coverage from Wyoming to Arizona and points west is chancy.
