Could those of you who are _currently_ able to use the 7290 with a Cingular plan please confirm if I (a prospective user of that combination) understand correctly what is spread out throughout various messages in this thread?

1. As of today, you are still able to use your 7290 as a modem to be online with your laptop, correct?

2. When you do so, you get speeds similar to those of a regular 56k modem?

3. If you have a Cingular voice plan plus an unlimited Express Mail Data plan, then using your laptop as described above does not consume minutes from your voice plan but it works as part of the the Express Mail Data plan, correct?

Thank you in advance,

Ludo
