I use gnome-ppp to connect to mobile broadband here.  install it, click
configure, then "detect" modem, enter the username(not sure what it is
for sprint, i use wap at cingulargprs for att, google for username/
password for sprint) then the network password, and phone #, probably
*99#, then click connect.
