To connect via bluetooth you will need to use Blueman rather than the
standard gnome-bluez so that you can add a dial-up device. You can
then use gnome-ppp to initiate the connection, setting it to dial
*99#.

If you use a USB cable network-manager automagically detects the phone
and will prompt you to set up a mobile broadband connection (assuming
you connect using PC Suite mode). This should work flawlessly on any
S60 device (I've tried it with both a 6630 and 6120c).

If you want more information I suggest you search on ubuntuforums.org;
there is plenty of info on there.
