Does "internet ready" mean a) the cell phone includes a browser or
b) the cell phone can act as a modem? I suspect the former. Each of
the Motorola phones I have (V66 and ST7868W) can act as a modem, and
says it is "data ready". I found a spec sheet for the T720 at
Motorola:
http://commerce.motorola.com/consume...hone_comp.html
and notice the list of accessories does not include any data or
connectivity options. On the other hand, the similar spec sheet for
the V66:
http://commerce.motorola.com/cgi-bin...nbr=1&zipcode=
does include "Connectivity and Data Kits".

Serial or USB? Correct for "big" Windows or CE?

If the cable is USB, you are probably out of luck. Very few Windows CE
computers support USB "host" mode, which is needed to support USB
devices. (Windows CE supports USB "client" mode, which is used for
ActiveSync.)

If your cell phone really can act as a modem and you have a serial
cable for it, you have a chance. First, you will almost certainly need
a "null modem" (for more info, use google
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up "null
modem" in this newsgroup). You will also need some sort of remote
networking software for your Windows CE computer. Some platforms (HPC,
HPC Pro, HPC 2000) include it. Some (Pocket PC) do not.
