Hi I have a 3 BMM stick that works fine in Ubuntu, however I now have an E65 that I also use with the 3 sim from the BMM.
According to everything I can find via google, I should be able to use the E65 as a modem, saving having to keep switching the sim around.
When I plug it in via the usb cable the Network Manager tries to connect to 3 and fails.
I have also tried the 3 handset profile but no difference.
Anybody have any ideas?

Have you tried using the manual ( wvdial ) method instead of letting Network manager handle it for you ? Maybe Network manager is getting the APN and/or password wrong.
Have a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7209664 ( OK I know it describes the E51 but its going to be similar for the E65 )
Have a look at /var/log/messages and see what its saying when it tries to make the connection
