Fair point. What I meant was a phone that does calls and texts the majority of the time (no need for 3G) but has the ability to connect to a 3G (or better) network if needed and can share that connection via some wireless means (wifi, bluetooth). Perhaps I just mean a mifi device. I kind of like the option of having a multi-day battery life too.
