Most smart phones can be tethered and even provide a nice Wifi AP for others?
I get really good data throughput even on 3g with Android O2 firmware on a Dell Streak AT&T.
I had a Verizon USB modem in the old days when you had to recompile the kernel on Ubuntu to use it with USB, but I really don't think the expense is worth it, anymore, due to phone tethering.
All verizon phones as part of the share everything have it enabled now.
Any rooted android phone can also.

I don't know this for a fact, however I hear you can use certain smart phones as a wifi hot spot.

Date: Monday, July 23, 2012, 1:40 PMHi All,
I am looking to pickup a cellular USB modem that my wife and I can use on her laptop when traveling (rather than relying solely on trying to find free Wifi). I know that there are providers where I can purchase the modem device and purchase a month-to-month data plan. I'm looking to go pre-paid as I don't need (or want) to have a recurring monthly bill when I'm not using it.
In case it matters, this would be for a Win7 laptop.
Any recommendations??
Thanks,
Peter
