As far as the phone as modem thing, I'm not really sure. It has the option already on the phone but I can't seem to get it to work on my HP Pavilion Notebook computer. The battery life is somewhat sub-par on the standard battery life in my opinion but then again that depends greatly on usage and how you use it. I personally spend a lot of time text messaging so my battery life deteriorates quite fast but then again I have a charger at my side almost all the time both at home and at work so even that is not really a problem.
As far as signal goes... It's awesome. I have a full signal in my basement in Kansas. When I go to work, my signal is not so good, usually one or two bars but I'm still able to access the internet at relatively high speeds and send and receive texts immediately and also have never had a problem with missed calls or anything.
Short and sweet:
Battery: depends on usage
Signal: Great.
Phone as Modem: not so sure about that one.
