Personally, I havent tried but I doubt the scroll will kick out enough power to work a 3 dongle. I may be wrong, but the only seem to work on passive stuff like usb sticks.

The MiFi would be an option for those wanting wifi on the move though

FYI I am using my scroll with the mifi device HUAWEI E585 and it works fine. To get to the 3.home screen you have to switch the browser to use unicode, which is a bit weird, but otherwsie no problems. It has its own rechargeable battery - about four hours - I haven't try charging it or running it on power from the scroll. It won't charge from a PC USB, but it will run from the power.

Just tried charging my mifi from the scroll and it works fine. Use the short min-usb to usb cable provided with the scroll, and plug into host port. So if you're a road warrior only one transformer to carry.
