Currently available from Sprint is the Netgear 341U, a USB cell
modem.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/365938/sprint-netgear-341u-usb-modem
has reports of how to compile the usb-serial driver that comes
with it.
AT&T's cell modem is the Beam; clicking around indicates that it
is in fact the Netgear 340U with a sticker on it. Netgear's
Linux support is here:

T-Mobile doesn't sell any USB devices right now, but they
will happily sell you a cell modem with a standard wifi
interface. No weird drivers needed, should work with any Linux
box with a working wifi nic. I would not be surprised if there
was a Netgear USB modem that will work with their service,
though.
