I was able to connect my N-gage using NetFront3.1 via Bluetooth, but everytime I play a game which requires socket, it asks to select an ACCESS POINT to which requires GSM SIM card. I got the USB Bluetooth and NetFront3.1 to avoid the expensive 8MB for $20.00 from AT&T. Any suggestions?? Thanks.

Not much you can do. Some software use the Symbian Series 60 connections in a way that require an APN defined...

That's why some software work with access via Bluetooth and others don't.

In that case, is there a way to connect via a bluetooth router so I can set up an ACCESS POINT to play my network games without using SIM. Which means I can still borrow the laptop's network via bluetooth connection??? Thanks.

Not that I know of. There is no software for this on the Series 60, although I know that some companies implemented a stack of their own software but for proprietary purposes.

So, nope, sorry...
