The story so far:
Using the bluetooth wizard i have connected to my nokia 5800 and am able to browse etc.

Now i want to teether the nokia and share my 3g connection with my MBP when on the move, so i went into bluetooth->advanced-> share and i am here:
(see screenshot)

now which options do i select to tether it?
Unfortunately i dont see my phone model there, does that mean somethings wrong?

Thanks!

No you need to use the bluetooth setup thingy (bluetooth setup assistant), and pair your phone as a modem.
 
I did... look below for the attached pics of the steps i followed
but i dont see any option for "modem"

Hey!

It works!

I called up my mobile operator and they "reauthorized" me or something and told me to try again... and it works!

Thanks everyone for your help!

I guess this thread is closed now, thanks again!

Cheers!
