Given the prices I have seen for those data sticks in Germany, I'd agree that this is a good approach. Sadly, you can't get day rates and cheap 3G cards/sticks here in the US. It's always monthly rates, which led me to cancel my Sprint card earlier this year (even though I was getting a corporate discount and only paid $40). I've mostly replaced it with WiFi (free at Starbucks and many other locations) and my iPhone for lighter usage.
