Forget the cable approach. The cheap ones are generally absolute rubbish,
and the Nokia ones are stupidly expensive. Instead consider buying an IR
dongle (the MA-620 works well). As for the CD's, remember that the games
and much of the other content will be pirated, so let your conscience be the
guide.

Hi,

IR is good, but too slow to use it to surf on internet. and IR... you
have to move your phone very close to your phone in order to get them
connected.

I am selling data cables on ebay over 4000 pieces, most of the peoples
are using them very well. My account is:

You can go to my website http://www.vavolo.com for more details about
the DKU-5 compatible data cables for your 7210 cell phones. i have a

What a steaming load. IR runs at 115k or 4MB dending on
implementation, and GPRS runs around 40-50k. IR is plenty fast for
internet use.

30cm. Since most IR for desktops are on cabled dongles, it's hardly a
hardship. One IR dongle on my PC allows me to connect three different
cellphones, two different PDAs and a digital camera with no stupid
overpriced proprietary cables cluttering my desk.

IR beats everything except bluetooth!

Hmmm... and you don't like IR. Go figure...

Take your spam elsewhere...

|
| Actisys also give you a choice- they offer two types of USB port, a
| serial port and various other types (internal?). I purchased mine from

Also Actisys is certified to be compatible w/o drivers by the IR standards
group (cant remember the exact name).
