I have a new laptop. G3 compatible. Have NOKIA cellphone with T-Mobile. Is there some way to use my cellphone as a wireless "card" for my laptop? If so, please address cabling. Thank you.

Wireless, as in connecting to an A/B/G/N network?
Or wireless as in wireless anywhere.
If you have a data plan, you can hook it up and use your data plan. Don't know too much about that.
I have an SCH-U740 (no data plan), I use bluetooth to connect to my PC (no cabling) and use it as a bluetooth modem. My cable ISP provides free dial up service to all cable customers, so I use that and do dial up. It's digital so it's actually significantly faster than 56k, standard dial up. -
You might start by asking these questions on a cell phone website, especially one that is related to your particular phone. Most cell phones have the ability to tether to a computer, but each one is slightly different.

Or you can use a bluetooth tether, if you have bluetooth. That's what I do with my Treo.

How fast is your BT connection?
-
-
3Mbps from the BT to the cell. From the cell to network is still 1.5Mbps though.

you need to talk to t mobile sprint has something that is called phone as modem but all phones do not support it and you have to get a special plan for it and then you have to be provisioned for it for it to work
