Air Card for laptop

You could tether your cell phone to your laptop via bluetooth. If you have windows 7 it's an easy process. But you need to make sure your phone company allows tethering.
It's a lot slower than mobile broadband though.

blackberry tether will run you $30 smackers and will be slower than an air card. At least mine was.
If this is for trading or trading redundancy, I strongly recommend just paying the monthly fee for an unlimited mobile broadband card. There are some which limit monthly bandwidth for a little cheaper if you're on that tight of a budget, but even the unlimited is cheap for a redundant data connection if you consider the cost of not getting online and taking action in a volatile position. Just look at the cost and annualize it. It's just some overhead.

Which carrier charges a flat monthly rate for unlimited data? I checked Sprint, Verizon, and Att and all of them have a 5 gig limit.
I trade with an air card from Sprint. Unlimited data for $60/month. No problem.
I may be in under an older plan, have had it for about 2 years.
