Please answer this question so that a slow thinker can understand. I'm new to macs and new to wireless.

I have a new powerbook with an airport extreme card and bluetooth. At home it is hooked up to an airport express base station. Presumably, there will come a time when travelling that I would like to connect to the internet but there won't be a hotspot around. I also have a blackberry that can connect to the internet through Cingular.

Is there a way to connect my pb to the bbery with bluetooth and surf the web? If possible, how slow would the connection be? I've heard talk of a dongle but have no idea what that is.

Thanks
