One very simple solution is to check if your laptop and cell phone both have an IrDA port (infra-red communication). This way, you can communicate back and forth between the two at a very reasonable speed, by simply putting the two ports close to each other (say 4/5 centimeters). Most GSM cell phones that I know that have IrDA ports will automatically put themselves into "external com" mode and automatically become modems for a laptop if they receive data through this port. Hope this helps.
