Telstra mobile as internet modem

Is there many people using there mobile phone as a modem for there laptop?
We will be heading of in a month or two, just got our laptop and now looking at mobile internet.
We'll be using it mainly for email, updating a blog (that I'm yet to learn how to do) and I guess a bit of researching on here and other great sources of info.

Is using the mobile slower than a dedicated modem? I guess this would be the main issue, and also reception to the network.

Any ideas or alternatives would be great

Cheers
Troy
