Fully Charged Laptop, Bluetooth to a (T-Mobile) mobile phone and you can still surf the web during a power outage (assuming it's not an area wide outage!) - long enough to check yell.com for Powergen's number anyway! (Laptop Bluetooth and T-Mobile allowed me to check Tesco's status page before i went and reset the router to factory settings! - not having a landline phone (i have a BT Line but no phone connected) i couldn't even check for a dial tone.
