Ok...so if I understand correctly you can get on 3G three ways with the iPad 2.

1) Buy the WiFi + 3G model for more money and access/buy a Data Plan for it.
2) Buy the WiFi model for cheaper and a mobile hotspot thing from Verizon and access/buy a Data plan and use not only your iPad 2 on it...but you're laptop also.
3) Buy the Wifi model and have a Verizon iPhone...do the mobile hotspot through the phone and sync the iPad through the iPhone.

Which way works the best?
Which way cost the cheapest?
 
I don't think Verizon has announced it's iPad 2 data plans yet (w/o a MiFi unit that they currently bundle) so hard to say. ATT is $25 for 2GB per month. VZW will probably be similar.
