Trading in u720 for a pda/smart phone-question

I've been out of the phone market for a long while.

First question, when using a supported Cradlepoint phone and connecting it to the router do you have to have the PAM add on or will it just be using the regular vision data that is supposedly still truly "unlimited?"

I currently have two Sprint Data u720 modems, both of which I've had for 2or3+ years. I use one for my home connection and traveling while my wife uses the other when she travels. I was going to cancel one over a year ago but was offered both for $39.99 each so I decided to keep both. Both plans are still listed as unlimited and I regularly use 7-12 gb one one card without problems but the other rarely gets used except for light surfing and use less than 2gb per month. I've had the plan long enough that I don't get charged for going over. Will an upgrade likely kill my good deal of virtually ignoring the 5gb limit but being watchful of not using 20+ gb per month? I won't pay for going over period.

I want to upgrade one card to a phone/pda that I will use for surfing, emails, gps navigation, light texting and as a note taking device. I'll rarely use it as a phone since I have a work cell w/ no extras even texting but it seems like daily I'll be out and wish I had a net connection to look up something quick and it's too much of a pain in the butt to pack a laptop all the time lol.

Suggestions?

There are ways around the 5GB limit and the PAM plan as long as you have unlimited Power Vision (Employee Discount), SimplyEverything). Maureen's comments are however, very accurate and good advice.
