Welcome to the forums! If you are a heavy email user you probably would like the full QWERTY keypad; if you don't rely heavy on email go with the SureType. For example I compose 150+ emails a day on BB, the 7130c wouldnot work for me.
On your other question take a look at the search feature of this forum as this question has been answered tons of times. You have three options: 1) Try to setup the tethered optional manually and hope you don't get hammered w/charges, some Cing users can get it to work w/out charges others can't 2) Purchase Sharkmodem, once again search the forums 3) purchase the Cingular tethered plan for like $79 a month.
Hopes this helps, best of luck and again welcome!
