If your laptop (presrio v6000) supports Bluetooth,does that mean you
can get wi-fi any where your cell phone can get service?

No. There is no connection between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. They are
separate protocols and are often mutually exclusive in many laptops.
I'm too lazy to check yours.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth also have nothing to do with Cellular service,
which is also a serrate protocol and service.

Methinks you might want to do some reading on how Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
and cellular data works before proceeding.

I can use a bluetooth connection between my laptop and a Cingular cellphone
to get access to the internet in almost any place that Cingular offers
voice service, if that's what you mean.

I can surf the web, send email, and connect to my corporate VPN.
The speed ranges from 30KbpS to 100KbpS for my setup, depending on where I
am. Other connections and other carriers offer different speeds.

You might do a google search for cingular laptop data tether, or verizon,
or sprint, or T-Mobile.
