I don't know about that gizmo, but more years ago than I like to remember my first cellphone was with Sprint, and when I upgraded to a PCS phone with data, I bought a USB cable for it. And it showed up as a working serial port under Linux. As I recall a simple ATD out the port readied it for PPP. Might not be so simple with a (vastly faster) broadband, but I wouldn't be surprised if it just looked like an ethernet dongle. If you've got a friendly T-mo store nearby, might ask if they have one you can try.
