I don't know how many iPhone users are out there (besides David), but
anyone get one to work as a cellular modem? I know you can do that
with Crackberries.

You can't do it with a standard iPhone ... but you can if you jailbreak it... although it's a bit of a kludge. See http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/use-your-iphones-internet-connection-on-your-laptop-327066.php (or http://tinyurl.com/2jgy5q).

I saw a mention a few days ago about AT&T possibly offering a package that will let you tether a PC to your iPhone to use the data capabilities. No details yet though.
