The GSM high-speed data supports 14400 b/s. There is also
possibility to use multiple channels, so bit rate may be up to
42300 b/s. However, I don't know if it is supported by anybody
but Finnish Sonera - you have to check with your operator first.
Also, some operators may require that you have high-speed data
enabled on your subscription (because, like, it costs a fortune
to use).
Personally I would recommend Nokia 6210, as it is possible to
connect either via cable or IrDa.

If you use the GSM data lot, a Nokia Card Phone 2.0 (a PC-II
card) may be a good buy. I have no experience of using it with
Linux, however.

In any case, you have to make sure that your operator, your
subscription, your phone *and* the connection to the Thinkpad
supports higher datarates.
