smartphone question

[swosucowboy]

First I do not know much about them, so I needing some help. Us Cellular is my carrier. I am looking at one of the smartphones.

Can I connect to the inter on my laptop from the internet connection from the phone? I know you can with other providers, but did not know with US Cellular.

Next-does Window media player play on these? I listen to internet radio that uses windows media player.

Thanks for your help.
