Have you tried a google search for "nokia n97 usb modem ubuntu" to see if any of the links are useful?
 
One of them said.. to connect to usb and then confugure a mobile broadband..

I did all that.

But where is the connect thing? ..

and also i did everything via the bluetooth connection and the modem also connected. but no pages load or anything
 
Hmm I wonder if you need to manually set the DNS/gateway in /etc/resolv.conf (or network manager UI) if Bluetooth is connecting but no pages opening...

See Tethering your Nokia to Ubuntu via USB. | Open attitude.

When you plug in the USB cable are you selecting "PC Suite mode" ?

BTW out of curiosity I'm trying my N900 (Airtel GPRS) on Ubuntu 10.10 and it fails to connect! Gah! Searching for a solution myself - might need to build latest "modem manager" package of sources :)
 
ITs weird..

I have configures Bluetooth, Joikuspot, Mobile broadband.

All connect successfully. even the Data icon under the small 3g logo in mobile also changes. but the pages or connection nothing happens. :(

and yea i did the same exactly with the mobile broadband
 
After it connected paste the output of "ifconfig -a" from console (just to check whether the gateway/DNS are set correctly)...
 
okay...................
