0.6.18 is too old
get

Windows docs say that the correct name for ports greater than 9 is
like \\.\COM31 now I've added this to gnokii docs

phone like yours don't work with connection = serial model = 6510

that should work

the following settings work for me with gnokii 0.6.27 via Bluetooth on
Windows XP:

[phone_5300BT]
# this is recommended for Series 40
port = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
model = series40 # currently this is the same as 6510 and 6300
connection = bluetooth

[phone_5300BTAT]
# this is NOT recommended for Series 40
port = aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
model = AT
connection = bluetooth
rfcomm_channel = 1

[phone_5300AT]
# this is NOT recommended for Series 40
port = \\.\COM10 # this is the virtual port corresponding to Bluetooth 'COM 1'
model = AT
connection = serial

model=AT isn't recommended for your phone because Nokia didn't
implement some useful AT commands like the one to read SMS, however it
should work with a Nokia cable and Nokia drivers

it is also possible to build gnokii on Windows with libusb support but
this is hackish and undocumented
