It was mainly for internet on the go; to check mail, browse the net, receive and make VOIP calls. Just to see whether it would work, I tried to connect to internet via 3G using the N70. To much to my delight I was successfully connected to internet without any issues using the GNOME network applet\/admin. I have a Dialog Broadband connection, and download speeds were in the range of 25KB\/s-40KB\/s, pretty good on WCDMA 2100. Best part of all was that I didn&#8217;t have to touch the command line. So all not so technically inclined folks can make it work as well without glitches. <\/p>\n<p>Bellow you will find the steps. Please make sure you can browse the net with the phone to make sure you are in a service area ;).<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Connect the phone to the PC. I used USB but Bluetooth is reported to be working on Ubuntu 8.04 as well.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Start the network admin application (System -> Administration -> Network), you&#8217;ll have to unlock it if you are not root (most likely you are not).<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 3<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Select &#8220;Point to point connection&#8221; and open up the properties. <\/p>\n<p><b>Step 4<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In the General tab make the following changes. Check\/select &#8220;Enable this connection&#8221;. Select GPRS\/UMTS as the Connection type. Set the Access point name to what&#8217;s provided by your service provider (In my case it was www.dialogsl.com). Under account data put your username and password provided by your service provider if any. <\/p>\n<p><b>Step 5<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In the modem tab select\/type in the correct modem port, in my case it was \/dev\/ttyACM0. If it doesn&#8217;t work for you, plug the phone usb cable while monitoring \/var\/log\/messages, you can see where the phone is being mounted.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 6<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Save the settings by pressing Ok, then activate the connection by checking the check box against &#8220;Point to point connection&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it, now you should be connected to the internet via 3G if there is coverage in your area or else via GPRS.
