Forget the dongle if your phone supports 3G. I use Joikuspot. It's an app you install on the phone (S60 Nokia 5800 in my case) that allows it to be used as a hotspot. You have to pay (about a tenner) for the version that allows WEP between the laptop & phone.
Works a treat and if you are not on for too long, the WEP weakness isn't a problem. You also have a network meter so it should be pretty obvious if your connection has been hijacked.
