Obviously you can't cancel the voice or blackberry contract, but I would assume that the tethering option is one that you could turn on and off.
3) Finally, to view a web page, say cnn.com, how would the page load time on a laptop using a cable modem compare to a laptop tethered to a EVDO equipped blackberry...
Thanks in advance...

1. Tethering is only available via the USB cable. Bluetooth for sync, headset/car kits.
2. Not sure if you can add/delete EVDO service on a regular basis. I'm sure VZW will allow you to do it once.
3. Download speeds depend on many factors. I don't think comparing Cable/DSL to EVDO is a fair comparison.
