The UK Gadget Blog has posted on the ability to use the 3 Skypephone as a modem for your laptop, connecting to the internet via the 3G network.

They make a similar point to Chris at Tamebay who lists 3’s internet add-on charges and says that, when these are compared to wifi costs, the value is fantastic.

As they part however, there is mention of this tethering a 3 Skypephone to a laptop so it can serve as a modem, potentially being against the 3 T&Cs. As Chris managed to achieve this using the software included with the phone, it seems unlikely that this would contravene any restrictions imposed by the network. Either way, 3mobilebuzz will endeavour to find out some specifics to clear up any grey areas.
