Re: software ovi suite for mac

Fortunately that's pretty easy with a Nokia, just plug your Nokia with the usb cable to your mac, Mac OS will notifiy you to create a modem configuration, that will be something like this:

 

In the modem Manufacter: you choose Nokia, then Model: GPRS (GSM/3G), and on the APN: you should put the same address as you find in your phone internet configuration, for example in Vodafone Portugal is: internet.vodafone.pt

 

You can find your phone internte connection configuration on your Nokia in a similiar place like this: Definitions -> Connectivity -> Destinations ->Internet -> then you will find the name of your operator probably, just press options and edit -> (your must close all connections to edit first, just put your phone in offline in the profiles menu (silent, office, outdoors etc), when your internet config opens you will see Access Point Name: example: internet.vodafone.pt that's probably the only data you will need, just put in Mac OS X as said previously!

Other alternative with not cables involved is to use JoikuSpot app, with this app you can share your phone internet connection with any computer with WiFi, in a nutshell your phone will act as an WiFi Internet Acess Point.

Just keep in mind that if your phone charges by usb, the cable solution is more battery friendly to your phone, but not for your Notebook :smileywink:
