Using a laptop with a mobile phone

How do you do it?? Will it work with a nokia 3210??? What do I need to know???

Good news - it's possible. With a 3210 you'd need a copy of Nokia Data Suite (version 3 if using Win2000), and a data cable.

Bad news - it's expensive. Unless someone can furnish you with a 'trial' version of NDS 3 to test it works before buying your own copy ;) I seem to recall it's a clanking fortune for NDS 3. Likewise the data cables start at about £25+

get yourself a 6210. You can use the IRDa port and the soft modem/software you get with the 'phone - mine even works with my Ipaq...

I have bought myself a Nokia 6310, Works a treat with the laptop:D. I can now go on the net whilst having a crap on the bog:D

I used to be able to get cables for about £12. Also I have a copy of Datasuite somewhere, if you need to try it.

If you want the Nokia Data Suite , you will find it bundled on a CD at Computer Fairs with all sorts of other software for Nokia phones. It's the type of disk that they flog for £5.99, bit grey but do you really want support?
You will also probably find the required cable at a price considerably cheaper than the Nokia OEM.;)
