urndis(4) should connect to this phone in -current, it presents an ethernet-like interface, normally you would run dhclient on a computer to connect via the phone - the computer will then use the phone for internet access via whichever method it's connected, wifi/3g/gprs/etc). However....it's just a network interface, so I imagine that if you have access to change the phone's routing table (which will probably require the phone to be rooted) then I don't see why you couldn't change the default route on the phone...
