( Originally from Fibble.org - Use your Nokia E61 as a Bluetooth Modem under OS X )

In my original blog posting, I simply referenced the existing directions for the BlackBerry 8100 (Pearl), but I'll include them here in their entirety for convenience.

1. Download the script here. Please Right-Click and Choose ‘Save As’. It's important not to open it in a text editor, as the script can become corrupted.
   
2. Copy the script into the folder /Library/Modem Scripts. That's the Library folder at the root of your hard drive, not the one in your user folder.
   
3. If you’ve already paired your E61 with your Mac, open Bluetooth Preferences, Select your E61 from the list of devices and press ‘Configure…’. (If you haven’t, choose ‘Set up Bluetooth Device’ - the following dialogs will be shown after you’ve paired your phone with your Mac. Make sure your Pearl doesn't require a password for your mac to connect to it - the 'Trusted Connection' option for the pairing should be set to 'Yes' on your phone, not 'Ask'.)
   
4. Make sure ‘Access the Internet with your phone’s data connection’ is checked. Also, make sure ‘Use a direct, higher speed connection’ is selected. Click Continue.
   
5. In the Modem Script pulldown on the following screen, Select ‘Nokia E61’. Use the following settings for the other fields, then click Continue:
   
   
   
   • Username, Password: leave blank
     
   • GPRS CID: *99***1#
     
   
   
6. Open the Internet Connect application. Select the Bluetooth icon at the top. Under Phone Number, put your APN (for T-Mobile and the BlackBerry Unlimited plan, I use wap.voicestream.com, for Cingular it’s “wap.cingular”). Type a username and password (I use guest/guest, for Cingular you’ll use “WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM” as the username and “CINGULAR1” as the password) in the appropriate fields.
   

That’s it! Let me know if it works for you. I don’t believe my settings are getting the most out of the device’s EDGE support, so I’ll be tweaking as I learn more. Credit to Ross Barkman and Tim Hatch for the original scripts I tweaked to make it work.

Caveats: I don't have an E61 to test this with, so I have no idea if it works with your hardware or provider. I've had several reports of success, and I'll happily try and help solve any problems you might run into, but without an E61 I probably won't be much help. Post a topic here and we'll see.
