Is it possible on the N-Gage? I know you can surf the web and check email via Bluetooth on some PDAs and stuff...
Internet via Bluetooth? Mac OS X

I only found guides for other Nokia phones, and none of them worked. I still get a "Unable to connect; no service" error, although everything on my N-Gage and computer are running as they should.
The guides for other Series 60 1.x phones should work,they do work on my N-Gage.Some applications have problems using the dummy access point of you have real GPRS access.Try this:Setup an e-mail account and select your dummy access point as the default access point for the e-mail account.Then,select connect from you e-mail account,it should work.If it does,leave it running in the background and start the applications you need,IE WirelessIRC.Let me know if it worked.

The only thing I was trying was XHTML/Web access, but I'll try the email thing first when I get home, then see if the web works.
Nope. Email didn't work either. Still "unable to connect" errors, though my Bluetooth connection and Internet Sharing (Mac OS X) are both active.
You may have varying degrees of success with this. Here's my results (I have a working GPRS connection from my carrier that I don't want to delete):
Doris (web browser): works via Bluetooth
WirelessIRC: works via Bluetooth
Email: works via Bluetooth
"Web": only through GPRS
Putty: only through GPRS
You should have mentioned that you were running Mac OS X.The key to internet sharing is the mRouter app that comes with the PC Suite package which is not available on Mac OS X.

There's a bunch of tutorials on the net for sharing via OS X, so I know it's possible. Just wondering if anyone else here had done it...
Let me know if you manage to get internet sharing with your mac. I'll thinking about buying a mac in a few months but one of the things stoping me is not having the nokie pc suite to share internet with my phone.

I'll keep trying. All my scripts and stuff are functioning, and the N-Gage is recognizing the signal...just no 'net. Very strange. I chalk it up to my bad luck.
UPDATE: Got it to work under Mac OS X! 😃

Well, as it turns out, the N-Gage's built in "Services" browser can only use WAP access points...that's why I was having so much trouble. I tried using Opera, however, and it worked perfectly. I used some Applescripts called Share2Blue2th; the package came with a set of scripts, as well as a set of standalone applications. I found that the standalone apps worked better than the scripts, believe it or not. The package includes a readme file that tells you everything you need to know. I was also in contact with the guy who wrote the scripts, and he helped me get everything running. 😃
As far as the Arena is concerned, I can't test that, as it's not available for download yet. 😞

Why don't you start an N-Gage Game and try to play it online.

I don't have any games with online capability, only Bluetooth multiplayer (I've got Splinter Cell, Sonic N, and Rayman 3). Unless I missed something?
