I used my TP2 in UK. I used both t-mobile pay-as-you-go SIM as well as one from H3G. H3G or # as it's known over there has best 3g+ coverage in UK and phone will use Orange's 2G network in hard to reach areas. you can buy 5day unlimited web access off of your pay-as-you-go credit and use that with tethering. calling back home is costly but you can use skype for that.
with t-mobile, you will get 3g coverate, but 3g+ might be iffy. web access is same as H3G and in addition for 7 pounds you can add 120min to call to northamerica as well.
I should add that TP2 ( atleast mine from telus ) is not SIM-Unlocked. so unless you get that done, you may not be able to use local SIMs and will have to pay hefty roaming charges. before I had mine SIM Unlocked, on my first trip lasting 3 weeks, my bill was whopping $1500 or thereabouts. Tethering will *not* be an issue so long as you get your phone SIM Unlocked and switch to local SIM.
