PDA internet acces

OK, so I'm at the point where I'm looking for a wireless broadband package. With AT&T and Verizon they both have a 5gb plan for 60.00 a month. Now I'm looking to access my stock streaming java screen for real time stock prices and the info I got was per 15 minute block of time the java stream might use 100 - 200 meg. Not good if I check in 4-5 times a day as I will then easily burn thru the 5 gb limit.
So, upon checking a bit more I find that for a Blackberry style PDA, I could get unlimited internet access for and voice for 70.00 a month (I already pay 37.00 a month for voice and text). My problem would be the size of the PDA screen and being able to actually see a web page with out have to get a magnifying glass.
Now the real cleaver thing the sales gal came up with is there is equipment I could dock the PDA to a laptop and thus have a laptop screen to view with.
So I ask any of you here, have you tried this docking scheme out and does it work?
