After having recieved a Nokia C7 I have spent a LOT of time - trying to use this telephone with my MBP.

Without results !On the Windows partition of my MBP the Nokia Suite worked - when cabeled to the phone!
On OSXI never got around to this. Oh - the OS acknowledged the phone as a modem, but setting up the bugger ! NoWay!!

And thinking the Bluetooth could do anything to help was very naiive on my part, Iam sorry to say.

So after having rumbeled with this problem for some time - I Accidentally came across a piece of software - an app - called JoikuSpot.

Iopted for the Premium version, so the traffic between phone and computer is encrypted an isolated.

A download - even from Nokia's Ovi /App Store resulted in a flawless installation. Ithen powered it on, and voila - a new wireless network was available on my MBP. Connect, enter the default code (or choose your own) and you are on! Works like a dream, even cross borders (I live in Sweden and cross the Øresund twice a day), but off course - stay on your providers network, or you could pay dearly !
