Resultó ser increíblemente sencilla de Conectar a un Nokia X6 a Ubuntu 10,04

1. Conecta el teléfono a través de USB al PC.
2. Ajuste el Telefono Nokia en modo “PC Suite” (cuando aparece el menu en tu telefono).
3. Izquierda haga clic en el icono de Network Manager y elija “Nueva conexión de banda ancha móvil”.
4. Elegí los valores recomendados en el asistente ( SI lo haces manual, pide la configuracion a tu proveedor de servicio).
5. Éxito. Ahora puedo elegir la “Mi Proveedor de servicio” de entrada y estoy online a través de mi Telefono Nokia X6.

Sin embargo, otro ejemplo de lo sencillo de computación con Linux, Ubuntu en particular, se ha convertido. De hecho, en mi SO predilecto

Thanks, this was cool! I expected a convoluted and tortuous command-line odyssey to get this going, but was pleasantly surprised to find out it is indeed so easy

BTW: I’m in India, carrier is CellOne/BSNL. Connection was terminated a couple of times – maybe low signal – but the procedure certainly works!

I very much want to tether via Bluetooth, though – the very short USB cable that came with the 5800 makes it a pain if you don’t have a flat surface for laptop and phone so off to Google for that, now!

Cheers,
Ed.

@arthur: I found the error in my ways Reading http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging
especially the section “Debugging NetworkManager 0.8.x 3G connections” made me look at ModemManager — which was missing entirely. Well, D’oh!

sudo apt-get install modemmanager

and a reboot solved the issue entirely for me.

But today I have got the latest firmware “50.0.005″ and I’m using ubuntu 10.04 i386. I got the following dmesg when connecting the mobile via usb:
