 Yup, or Bluetooth (though that's slower).

 ...among others. There are also payware programs that emulate USB modems and
similar things, too.

 I imagine Windows Mobile phones can do that, too. I dunno about Blackberry
or Symbian phones, but I wouldn't be surprised. You can also get PCMCIA cards
that let a laptop connect directly to the cell network... though I don't know
how many of those are supported by Linux.

 Sincerely,
