I've used an Android device with no issues, but I've also had some success with the Huwei USB dongles - both from 3 and O2.

I think 3 are pretty good from a data plan rate...

    Hi Adam,
    I have used an android smartphone as a wifi hotspot with no
    problems with ubuntu (from 10.04). Most dongles should work with
    it anyway. From my very limited experience the huawei ones work
    right out of the box, it is just a question of changing a setting
    so that it connects via the dongle and doesnt look for wifi(or
    just turn off wifi and that should work). In worst case scenario
    if it doesnt work for some reason then most shops (o2,vodafone
    etc) will refund you the cost if it doesnt work. Since the kernel
    3.0.27 update (latest i think) there is now support for even more
    devices.  ps this is the dongle that i have used-- huawei k3770.
    The following guide should help if you do encounter any problems

    hope this helped

        Just wondering if anyone would like to recommend any
        particular USB
        dongle internet hardware/services in the UK?  I'm expecting to
        use it
        quite a bit for short periods, but only in the UK.  Obviously
        it needs
        to be usable with Ubuntu!

        Thanks,
        Adam
