Cool - check this phone on Nokia's website: High-guality surround sound! Should that be gnuality - Linux surround sound?? :erm:

So you got a "dongle" - presumably you're talking about a USB Bluetooth adapter? Forgive me but this phone has USB connectivity so why not just use the cable that comes with the phone? :dozey: KISS: it's always the best way :)

Re: advice needed
 

You and me both, what are you calling a dongle? the lead that connects your phone to your pooter? a blue tooth dongle?

Question: have you got a phone manager on CD with your phone?

Re: advice needed
 

I find it easier to use bluetooth once it's all set up rather than the USB cable and combined with the lovely Nokia PC Suite, as a computer noob many times did pc suite batter my brain. Then again so did bluesoleil to start with but i'm alright now:D

Re: advice needed
 

thanks for the reply,your quite right i did get a data cable with the phone and i dont know how to use that either :dunce: but listening to nerds i thought a dongle would be easier for me :shrug:

Re: advice needed
 

Congratulations - I've never been able to make Bluetooth work anything like as reliably as a wired connection so I can't be bothered with it. However I can't see how Bluetooth can possibly be easier as there is nothing to setup with a USB cable. Hmm...though I suppose with a Bluetooth connection your PC doesn't want to add lots of new hardware devices - is that what you had the problem with?

Re: advice needed
 

okay 1 question

what kind of bluetooth adapter, if its a standard bluetooth 1.0 adapter (hard to get nowadays) then Windows XP will recognise it and will be easier to configure via Nokia PC ****e (I have a disliking to PC Suite as it can be hell to setup correctly).

Re: advice needed
 

hi doc,thanks for your querey all i know is its a thing to bung into the pc [i am serious ]:dunce: i do know that i have the new vista windows :clap: and thats about it,i am a lost cause ;)

Re: advice needed
 

Not if you shop in Staples I got 2 ver 1.0 adapters for £5.00 each

Regarding PC Suite yup it is hard but thats what ships with the Nokia phones my new Sony Ericsson don't have any. Sorry to highjack this thread a little but whats a good phone suite???

Re: advice needed
 

I use bluetooth and don't even touch PC Suite, my dongle came with Bluesoleil software, it was a bit like this http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/12612.htm
When i turn the bluetooth on it's simple to transfer and all my files are in my folder on my chosen folder. So no PC Suite- bliss! Also in that case you don't need the CD that came with the phone. In my opinion Nokia's software just confuses matters, but maybe that's because i've got used to using bluetooth?

Re: advice needed
 

goldoni, if you use the phone via Bluetooth then I can recommend http://fma.sourceforge.net

brilliant piece of software for all SE phones.


Tweety, good luck with the dongle on Vista mate...you and the kids will need it. if you know the make of the adapter I might be able to put you roughly in the right direction.

Re: advice needed
 

thanks doc for your advice ill keep you posted how things get on :tu:

Re: advice needed
 

Thanks for that, downloaded the software but on install it hangs while trying to load a microsoft bit of software. Will try later, could be the site is down.

Re: advice needed
 

hi doc didnt make it on the dongle :bigcry: but we had great success with the data cable and the nokia suite :clap: probaly resurect the dongle at a later date ;)
