I have Mobile Broadband running on my Noia N95 with 3. Very easy to setup. I use the USB cable to connect to my phone and put the N95 into "PC Suite" mode. Ubuntu then pops up a window to configure the broadband modem, as I believe you get with the dongles. All very easy. I am using Jaunty on and Acer Aspire 1690.
