Best smartphone to use as mobile hotspot?

[Kukushka]

Good day folks!

I am looking for a smart phone to use as a mobile hotspot in UK, and during my trips abroad. My requirements for this are simple:

-The phone should be as small as possible & with a long battery life. (Maybe running on android>not, however this does not matter as much)
-It should be a good hotspot for sharing 3g connection with my secondary devices such as my Tablet and Laptop.
-It does not have to be top of the line.
-If it is close to indestructible, all the better (Being pretty is not something I need)

Any suggestions folks?

Thanks in Advance,

Mitja

Xperia Active (if you can find one)

1. small, long lasting, android
2. shares pretty well (and rooting will help even further)
3. not top of the line but not bottom either
4. search xperia activ hammer test on youtube
