Still you bring up all good points and with all the uncertainty of these phones and data consumption I may as well look at keeping DSL....or another option other than this amazing phone!!! Thanks!

Yes I suppose you could bypass the cradlepoint thing entirely. I haven't looked up what that device is/does so I wasn't sure if you would still need it or not. Just one point of clarification...you can share your connection using any OS, but Windows specifically calls the option "internet connection sharing".
Maybe in the future things will be stable enough to use a phone as an ISP but I wouldn't personally try it. Plus it's constant effort to keep connecting the phone and starting up PDAnet, and what happens when you want to leave the house but your wife is staying behind? Now you have to unplug your phone and then connect hers...doesn't sound like fun to hassle with that all the time...
