Arduino and Nokia 5110?

I am having problems interfacing my Nokia 5110 with my Arduino.

The pinout on the LCD is
8 LED
7 SCLK
6 DN(MOSI)
5 D/C
4 RST
3 SCE
2 GND
1 VCC

I know there are tutorials on this but I still cant seem to find the proper way to interface it with my arduino duemilanove.
I tried the different example sketches on http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/PCD8544 but for some reason cant figure out what pins go where.

Please give me a pin to pin example as I am new to this whole thing. Thanks!

Have you tried the second example on the page:

#define PIN_SCE 7 // LCD CS .... Pin 3
#define PIN_RESET 6 // LCD RST .... Pin 1
#define PIN_DC 5 // LCD Dat/Com. Pin 5
#define PIN_SDIN 4 // LCD SPIDat . Pin 6
#define PIN_SCLK 3 // LCD SPIClk . Pin 4
// LCD Gnd .... Pin 2
// LCD Vcc .... Pin 8
// LCD Vlcd ... Pin 7

This indicates that Pin 7 on the arduino board gets connected to pin 3 on the LCD, Arduino pin 6 to LCD pin 1, etc.

These should work.  If they don't then we'd need a better description of the problem you're having.
