3G is a far bigger battery sucker than the old 2G was.However you can set most phones to 2G only to save some juice, then switch to 3G when you need data...
But then I need a "mifi" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Huawei-E5331-Speed-21-1Mbps-Unlocked/dp/B00ARFVTKS/ref=sr_1_1/276-9791670-6069410?ie=UTF8&qid=1379502781&sr=8-1&keywords=mifi for £40 Or I buy a mobile with - Bluetooth - Mobile hotspot technology
You only need bluetooth for a headset - any modern 3G phone with wifi ought to allow tethering...
But Mifi devices are fine. Just one more device to remember to carry! Gordon
