Set up wireless surfing via a 3G phone Internet
There is little to no existing information on how to get your mobile phone up and running as a UMTS Bluetooth modem for your Mac. There has been a program out for a while called Mobile High Speed 3g, but it costs money. My operator (3) don't have any support for the Mac. But I found a nice fellow who has made the modem scripts available for all SE mobiles.

After you have dragged these to your /Library/Modem Scripts folder, you'll have to go to this page to find your operator's settings. Then just fill in your info under Network Settings and Bluetooth, and choose you new modem script. Remebmer that you might have to use your ATN in the "telephonenumber" field. Also note that you might have to turn off TCP compression and PPP echo under Network/Bluetooth.

Now you're set to go surfing with your SE phone. This tip is more thoroughly explained (in Swedish) in my blog.
