Hi

I am on a Powerbook Osx 10.4.8 looking to upgrade phones . I want to get a 3G to use as a modem for sending pics when on the move any advice?

You can get a smart phone and setup sharing . I think that you can get unlimited data on a smartphone for about 20. a month.

T-Mobile have some good data tariffs if you think you'll be using it a lot. You'll want to look at the Web'n'Walk Plus and Max deals are those are the ones that let you use the handset as a modem. http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/eshop/personal/internet-on-the-move/webnwalk-plans.do?tariffFamilyId=22&menuId=internet.webnwalk&paymentTypeId=1&bundleTypeGroup=0&navTab=3

One downside with T-Mobile is some say their coverage isn't as good as some over networks, so check out your area first: - http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/streetcheck/

As for what handset, I wouldn't have thought there would be much difference as far as modem goes, so I'd pick something based on what other features you want.
