I have a Nokia 6230i and my wife has a Nokia 6230. I would like to transfer images & video clips from both these phones to my laptop. Transfering from phone to phone is ok using infrared but I cannot make my Siemens Lifebook laptop (Windows XP) accept or connect to either phone despite the laptop saying the device is working correctly. Any ideas or alternatively what is the cheapest USB cable and where can I get one from ?.

Get a bluetooth dongle, its a bit of plastic that connects to your usb port and will allow you to send by bluetooth. They are great and will work with all bluetooth phones so if you upgrade you can still use it. They are pretty cheap too - about £5.00 - £10.00

You have two options. You can e-mail the photos to your home e-mail adress if your phone suports it, or you can buy the transfer cable made for your phone. Try looking in stores that sell the phone, and if you can't find it, you can always order one on-line.

The digital camera probably connects to the computer via a USB port.  If the laptop doesn't have a usb port you need to get a PCMCIA card that can provide it.  It would help if you posted the model of the laptop.\n\nIt's also possible that the camera you have (or plan on getting) doesn't support Windows 98.  \n\nStrictly speaking there's little difference in compatibilty of a desktop and a laptop from the same era.

If you go to Circuit City or CompUSA or some equivalent, you can buy a two or four port USB card to insert in a PCI slot, if you have a slot available. \n\nJust ask the salesperson for advice on whether the one you are looking at will work in your PC, and what their returns policy is if it will not fit or fails to work.\n\nThey will usually need to know what version of Windows you are using, and what type of card (PCI or IDE) that you need for the PC. \n\nIf you have a camera phone, you can open up the cover of your PC, take a snapshot of the card slots, then just show it to them and see what they think.

Does your phone have IR?\nIf so, all you need is a IrDA software, I prefer you to download the software from motorolla website, check there for the model of yours and do download it.\n\nPS: Some cell phones do need only a general Ir software. You may have one, check the CDs that came in with the computer, it has the IR software to do that.\n\nXLMan

G'day,\n\nUnfortunately there's nothing much you can do.  There may be an adapter that can adapt from PCMCIA to USB, but connection may not be very good.  Best suggestion will be to buy the USB version of your PCMCIA card.\n\nGood Luck!

You will need an adapter.\n\nSpecifically, a parallel-to-USB wire.\n\nThe link listed as a source is an adapter made by Belkin. It gives you some more information about this type of adapter.\n\nNOTE: The site may not represent the lowest price for the product. I highly advise searching local stores and internet sites for the lowest price.

We carry several phone adapters.\n\nB2K is a popular one which can transfer Skype calls to a regular corded or cordless phone.\n\nB3G has all B2K's functions, but can also do call forwarding when you are away from yor computer.\n\nThe sound quality is good and the installation is easy.

It's called a "data cable". Go to Google -- er, I mean, Yahoo Search -- and type in "data cable" and the name of your cell phone model.\n\nI.e., "data cable Nokia 7700"\n\nAnd watch in amazement as 400000 people try to sell you the appropriate data cable.\n\nAlso suggested reading:\nhttp://mobileoffice.about.com/od/usingyourphone/a/cellmodem.htm

I asked the same kinda thing. I have a PCMIA card and a Dell laptop that won't support it. I was thinking that there would be a converter, or at least something that might plug it into the USB port. There should be aconverter, though.

You should use BlueTooth and install the Nokia PC Suite if you have a Nokia phone.

Balckberry is slow, expressive, and new. The best way to transfer data wireless from anywhere in the world over a laptop is satellite internet. I know verizon offers this service.

If they are on your cell phone you will need a data cable that hooks your phone to a USB port on your computer.  Go to bestbuy or circuit city with your phone.  You will also need some software for the pc to communicate with your pc.

I bought "Mobile Phone Tools" by Motorola off of eBay.\n\nI have transferred my phone book from a V400 to my V3 Razr, added pictures for wallpaper etc.\n\nThere is no version number on the software but it says Copyright Motorola, INC 2004.\n\nIt works good.
