I won't say that this is pretty good when you are using at your home as it is, nothing can beat broadband of wifi. But if you want net connectivity on your laptop when you are travelling or temporarily maybe because you might not have access to broadband for a couple of days due to some reason.
Well, I am using my 6630 GPRS-enabled phone right now as a modem, and I've been doing it since the past month as my Mom won't allow me to use broadband till the 21st of March as my board exams are nearing and she is not willing to take a chance and get me distracted.
The speed 115.2 kbps is still considered good enough in my city, here people aren't that tech savvy, and well, but I still miss my 512 kbps broadband.

The main problems that I have, can't really use it with the AC on, well I can but due to the weak network strenght the speed is very slow and surfing deviantART is a headache then.

The phone has to be charged as many people already said, when I am using the data cable, I can't use the charger, but when I connect my cell with Bluetooth, I can charge it.
It costs around 210 INR per month for me, which is like around 5 USD.
When it comes to downloading big files, well over a 100 MB, then I use Bluetooth instead of the data-cable, put the charger on and then keep the PC running for the whole night and the next morning, everything gets downloaded. I get like 10 kbps downloading speed
without any download accelerators and around 16-20 kbps with FlashGet which I guess isn't that bad either.
