with a external one, one can choose what device to go online with. ones tablet, ones laptop, maybe even ones desktop, or maybe even something borrowed from a friend. anything with bluetooth or usb will work, in theory...
Exactly. I can use my phone as a modem for any of my (three :-) tablets, or my laptop. I even tethered my desktop once while my DSL line was down. And now that I have a capable phone (E51) I even use it to get online in a pinch, for certain things it can be faster than taking out the tablet.

All with a single SIM card and data plan. And most of the time I'm *really* glad that my 3G modem is on a different battery...
