Question Stormchasing

OK so in the spring I go stormchasing throughout Texas and the surrounding states. I usually use my CrackBerry's phone-as-modem on Sprint for the data I need on the go (radar, updates, etc).

I've been researching and I know I'll be able to use the TP2 (when it finally arrives via UPS) as, essentially, a ninja'd wireless router. So that solves the problem of me having to pay for extra mobile data service. My question is then, are there prepaid US data SIMs just in case Sprint service wherever I happen to be on the road is shoddy? I am going to SIM unlock and all that good stuff. If I were to be able to get on Verizon's EDGE would I get the crazy-faster-than-rev-a speeds? Cuz I would love to get crazy fast radar and such on the go.
