There are a few ways you can do this, either the USB interface or through a Bluetooth connection.
Bluetooth is pretty straight forward so I’d just list the steps for USB. This is for Mac OS X Leopard.
1. Connect E71 to the Mac through USB using “PC Suite” connection.
2. Open the Network Preferences Pane in the Systems Preferences.
3. Network Preferences should auto detect the E71 as a new interface should it not have been previously.
4. If not, select one of the Nokia E71 interfaces within Network Preferences.
5. Enter your account name and password as “star” and “hub” respectively. Leave the other options blank.
6. Click the Advanced button.
7. Select “Nokia” as your Vendor and “Model” as “GPRS (GSM/3G)”.
8. Enter “shwapint” for your APN.
9. Leave CID as “1″.
10. Under PPP and under “Session”. Ensure “Disconnect if Idle” is not checked.
11. You’re done! Hit connect and you’ll logon to StarHub’s 3G network.

I followed all the instructions. I watched it try to connect–it says “connecting” but after a minute of trying, it then reports “disconnecting.”
