Mac, Nokia N95 and Next G broadband

Anyone had any experience connecting to Next G broadband via Bluetooth with a Nokia N95 from Mac OSX 10.5.4 (Macbook Pro)? I've added the 300mb $29/month plan today (ouch!) and the consultant (Mobile Connection) suggested I Google for connection details for the Mac! I've added the configurations
