Hi, I have a nokia E71, and I can get connection either by Blue tooth or 
via a little program called Joiku Spot. You can either get the free 
version or paid version, I have the paid version. The Blue tooth program 
is called BluemanBlutooth, and can be found in here 
https://launchpad.net/blueman

I have to say, the Blueman program is amazing to use, it makes copying 
anything from phone to computer really easy, and connection to the 
Internet is simple.

Hope that helps.
