<p>The other point is the battery dies very fast when using 3G/WiFi Tethering. . And gets dangerously hot. .. Need android device min 4000mah </p>
<p>I hsve seen some device offering 7000mah. ..not sure if this is a typo though!</p>

I have a Samsung S2 phone and it comes with a data service<br>

cool. i forgot about that idea. hang on... *wifi* tethering... on a<br>
phone? as in - it acts as a 3G router? and it's a mass-produced<br>
item? that's awesome. i want one!<br>

The tethering then allows any of my different tablets to<br>
connect to internet. It eliminates the need for each tablet<br>
needing built in 3G, as well as allowing the phone to become<br>
a miniature tablet if I forget the larger tablet.<br>

good point.<br>
<br>
what you reckon, adam? i'd say he has a great point, here: you'd<br>
.... oo, ooo OW! the samsung S2? have you seen the prices?!?! but,<br>
hang on, you could always do bluetooth tethering instead.<br>

I already have the Galaxy note N7000 ... but the call function is crap - got cut off several times ... in a very good signal area - is it phone fault -- or a wave with a blip in it? ...<br>
<br>
I have used my phone with 3G and then use phone as router for other devices via wifi... works extremely well ..<br>
<br>
All 3G Androids have this after 4.0 - check the tethering settings<br>
<br>
Galaxy Note is OK ... but too much for what anyone needs --- who want to draw pretty patterns on a 5" screen with pen while you are in rush hour on metro!<br>
