Just for giggles, I plugged my new Nokia via the USB cable. The phone automatically offers me a "PC Suite" or "Data Storage" connection mode. In data storage mode, I get a boring mount of the SD card inside the phone. If I choose "PC Suite", the "Mobile broadband" option in Network Manager appears out of nowhere, and I get a menu entry to set up a new broadband GSM connection. Since I do not have a data plan I haven't really tried it, but it certainly looks like it will work.
