thanks for that,
i have tried, the phone and computer seem to talk to each other when i try to connect them the mac goes through the motions by connecting, then authenticating, but then it disconnects.
I am trying to get online using 3G rather than Dial up, am i doing the right things?
yeah, you're doing the right things. follow those directions and you'll be connected via whatever access point you set in 'Packet Data' on your device - be that 3G or EDGE.
you can't even use the directions nokia provided to connect via 'Dial-up', so you're definitely not doing that by mistake. i'm taking 'Dial-up' to mean literally dialing into an ISP. this is POSSIBLE on most carriers, they use (High-speed) Circuit Switched Data - on Voicestream in the USA (before t-mobile bought them out) (H)CSD topped out at around 9600 baud when dialing into a 56k modem at my ISP.
my mac behaves as you describe from time to time. it works on my first try 90% of the time, but when it glitches (hangup in the middle of a connection) it won't work again until i do one of the following:
1. reboot (fixes the issue most of the time)
2. reboot AND redo the pairing process (fixes 100% of the time)
i've always attributed my issues to some hacking i've done to my bluetooth stack, so i don't know if a stock mac has the same potential flaws. (FYI - i run macosx 10.4, which doesn't have A2DP. i followed some posts long ago to hack A2DP into my bluetooth stack. it sorta worked, but bluetooth has been error prone since then)

N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)
