I use the the Huawei E220 USB Modem which is sold by various vendors 
(e.g. t-mobile, o2, ... in Germany) for UMTS/GPRS. It works quiet good 
for me.
To get an impression of the setting effort there is a good article at 
the gentoo wiki

btw: i use wvdial for dial-in as the configuration is a lot less annoying ;)
