Not sure about hooking up a Nokia phone... only ever used infrared to connect my mobile. However, you would need a router (more specifically, you'd actually need a wireless access point, but all wireless routers are by definition wireless access points too!) for your PC's wireless NIC to talk to anything else - it can't talk directly to other wireless NICs.
