I asked about hooking up pc's to Verizon's broadband and they said they only had cards for laptops. Can you explain a bit more how are you running the PDA as a modem for your desktop??

I had the same problem ... But check this out ..I found the directions to turn my PDA into a USB modem and it works !
I HAVE LINKS TO ALL THE DRIVERS AND IT TOOK ME ABOUTN 1/2 HOUR TO FIGURE IT OUT BUT IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM . IM GETTING BETWEEN 300-500K WITH 100K UPLOAD SPEEDS.
Wmodem Instructions
Here are the instructions that sdppc posted on pdaphonehome.com and slightly modified by me.
Note that you do NOT need to do the "download steps" because the files up above are the download files you need.
Download EVDO drivers for laptop and dialer from Club I mate site.
I figured that I would put all the files and instructions in one place to use the xv6600 as a usb modem for your laptop. I have achieved close to 500k with this.
The steps to take
Download the files
Download the attached wmodem.zip and unpack wmodem.exe to your Pocketpc.
Download the attached dialer/driver and unpack and install on your pc
Download the attached DisconnectActiveSync and put it on your pc
How to use
On your laptop run DisconnectActiveSync
On the PPC turn off "Vision"(sprint) or "Express Network"(Verizon) by holding the end button down until it disconnects.
If this puts your phone in flight mode, take it back out of flight mode, but don't let
it reconnect to the data network.
Start wmodem on phone.
Make sure to pick USB on popup in wmodem and hit start button.
Plug phone into laptop via usb
When new hardware wizard starts, point to drivers attached below which should be on your laptop.
Start dialer.

NOTE:
After using this method, you won't be able to USB activesync without re-enabling it. On the pocket PC go to start menu-->programs-->activesync, select the options tab... then click the options button... then check the checkbox and select "USB" from the dropdown.
