If you use Verizon Wireless, and your company does not de-install USB ports (how paranoid are they?), then you can surf the web all day without a smartphone. Just get Verizon's USB adapter version of their EVDO network connect. You can add it to your cell phone plan for $59.95 a month and get FAST web access nearly any place in a big city. Just plug the device in to your USB port, flip up the antenna, and bang! the web is yours.
I love it when I go to other companies and some self-important I.T. guys says "I'm sorry, you can't connect to our LAN". I say "worry not, I am already on the 'net".
Sprint and AT&T (EDGE) have the same thing. I understand Sprint's is very fast. I can say that books download to my Kindle in a flash, and that's Sprint (via Amazon).
