Internet ready cell phones

We are thinking of buying a cell phone that we'll be able to use like a lap top. The wireless internet through Cingular is said to be faster than our home DSL. I have just enough technical knowledge to be dangerous. I am hoping to be able to access our e-mail through the phone and bluetooth to a printer. I know I could purchase a laptop and get a wifi card but me hope is I can do it all through my cell phone. Anyone out there currently doing this or any suggestions.

There is not enough memory to be able to hold the docs on a cell phone and also the phone will not have enough processing power to print docs. however most new motorola phones will allow to connect to a laptop via their software and access the internet via the phone.

So anyway it goes I would have to get a laptop to print. What about using a memory stick in the phone to download the files.

A cell phone does not have a CPU big enough or the capabilities to process the data for printing.
