using a mobile phone as a modem

[Amos Shapira]

I have no idea how much this can help you but with Ubuntu (currently
0.8 on Karmic) in Australia I could just connect an E71 to the USB
port and it automatically found it as a modem and allowed me to pick
which of the mobile carriers is the one I'm with and that's it. After
that it appears as one of the options, editable under "Mobile
Broadband".

This was true also for 9.04 and maybe even 8.10, with I think network
manager 0.7.2.
