Knowing how many bugs in phones implementing GPRS/3G and different ppp' 
providers, i think it won't be an easy job to get it "just work".
Not counting how to link the phone: serial, usb, IR, bluetooth

this site (even if the design seems broken these days): 
http://www.easyconnect.linuxuser.hu/modules/index/
contains a software that manage a lot of different phones and providers 
for gprs. Maybe fetching some idea and specs (connection scripts) from 
it would be a good start
