does anyone know how to get the ngage to surf the net using opera via bluetooth and my dial up connection. I have a guide to do it on pc, but the problem is Im on mac. can anyone help. heres the guide for PC.

1. install a bluetooth dongle and all its drivers
2. pair computer with phone, authorize the connection and remember your computer's name that you use to pair the phone with.
3. install pc suite

in your phone

4. go to settings->connection->access points
5. options->new access point->use default settings

connection name: (whatever you ex. bluetooth dsl)
data bearer: GPRS
Access point name: your computer's name, the same name that shows up when you pair the bluetooth with the phone.
user name: none
prompt password: no
password: none (leave alone)
authentication: secure
gateway IP add: 0.0.0.0

6. now go back and you should see the access point you just set up.
7. go back to connection settings->GPRS

GPRS connection : When needed
Access point: your computer's name, the same name that shows up when you pair the bluetooth with the phone.

8. install Opera (internet browser)
9. turn on bluetooth and connect your phone with PC suite
10. if you've done all of these step properly you can now use the internet on your phone via bluetooth connection.

well i heard that some peeps made a software called gnubox... It should imitate the gprs connection. It means if u have bluetooth connection with ur phone. U install gnubox on computer and run it. Then make connection between ur phone and computer and turn on opera. It should connect trough your computer to the internet. I havent tried it out so i really dont know how it works. But i dont know about how it works on mac. Just google for gnubox u should figure everything else up..
