That, by the way, is why I'm taking my Acer back, no BlueTooth so I'd have to tether my cell phone with a USB cable (inconvenient)

I think there are few plans that allow tethering, albeit, majority of cellphones I've used can be tethered. What I'm arguing is
Bluetooth connectivity just isn't the proper term. Besides, since the salesperson was specifically mentioning AT&T, I'm guessing the laptop they're trying to sell has built-in 3G or an express card slot which accomodates the AT&T adapter.
As for Bluetooth, I bought a teeny tiny adapter for $2 from FocalPrice. So far, it seems to work quite well.
