I do this stuff all the time whenever i'm out and there's either no wifi or like at a hotel with outrageously priced wifi. I either tether the blackberry or now more often than not use the T-mobile 3G webstick. But I always look for wifi to leech first.

For surfing, email, chat, etc, you'll never hit it unless you're trying to use it as your primary connection. Typical usage for vacations or just using it when you're away from the house and dont have wifi, it's fine.

Stay away from video and big downloads or uploads though. You can chew thru a gig pretty quickly that way.
