A data plan is something like this: http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/mobile-phones/price-plans/home/

In short it's mobile internet from your mobile carrier...
Once you got this, you'll have to configure the ISP settings on your PDA with the informatiopn provided by the carrier...

For example:
Modem type: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
APN: stantardnet.vodafone.net
user: none
password: none

One you've done this, just start the Internet Sharing app, select the connection you've configured, plug in the USB cable, and you can use it.

I already use a data plan (Umts T-mobile) at my Polaris, since 1 year.

when I connect my USB-cable (activeSync works well) and I start 'programs/internet sharing': I see as chosen: 'USB and T-Mobile data plan'.
But my laptop doesn't try to connect to internet through my Polaris :-(
So, I must change something within my laptop for connection settings?

great, you have a data plan... can you browse the net on your PDA with nothing connected to it?

Yes I can browse internet on my pocketpc.
The problem now is how to enter this inter-connection (to extern websites) from laptop

great... now forget the active sync... open the Internet Sharing app... tap connect, connect the PDA to the laptop, and start browsing...

I can't put it more simply because it won't get simpler then this...
