hi, i've just bought a 6230i and is planning to upload my mp3s onto the phone.

but before i can do that i need to buy a data cable first. so was wondering which cable is better? the CA-42, CA-53 or DKU-2? (refer to website below)

http://www.nokia.com.sg/nokia/0,,36655,00.html

or will bluetooth be better?

i'll using Windows ME so will the Nokia Audio Manager inside Nokia PC Suite be compatible with my OS? Question

truely appreciated it if anyone can help. thanks.

If its uploading to the removable storage card, get a separate card reader/writer is cheaper and way faster. Laughing

CoolMyth SG

If you want to transfer mp3s, it's best to get the data cable. Bluetooth's transfer rate will be too slow.

But personally, I bought a card reader, transfer my mp3s onto the card and then put back the card in the phone.

Gordonator SG

thanks. i'm using MMC card to storage the mps. any useful website i can refer to for the card reader? compatible with Windows ME? Question

FireIce SG

me infra from laptop to the fone......

and for fark sake, stop using windows many errors.

LazerLordz SG

the MMC card can be put into a SD/MMC Card adapter. then just use a card reader, usually found in any IT shop, to connect to your USB port on your PC.

transfer your MP3s, voila! you can take the MMC card out, put it back in your phone and it's good to go. Laughing

ditzy SG

But since you're using windows ME as mentioned above, you can prepare for some interfacing issues. Laughing

Gordonator SG

if i buy the card reader, will i still need Nokia Audio Manager or Nokia PC Suite?

ditzy SG

No. Laughing

Gordonator SG

thanks ditzy, thanks all. bought the reader just now while out for lunch. works fine in my office's PC. going to this evening when i get home on my windows ME.

only complain is the phone is badly designed as i have to shut down, take out the back cover, the battery only then can i take out the MMC card.

ditzy SG

We reckoned you already figured that one out. Laughing

alexkusu SG

use cable instead of card reader. Then less tear n wear by taking ur batt out, etc

ditzy SG

use card reader instead of data cable, less wear and tear on data port of phone due to data transfer. Laughing

alexkusu SG

use bluetooth or infrared, less wear and tear on physical components Mr. Green

ditzy SG

wear and tear on the data being transferred, data has to be broken up into packets and joined back. Laughing

Gordonator SG

card reader so much more easier. cable still must run the software to upload the files. Laughing

LazerLordz SG

precisely.

argue so much haiyo that ditzy. Laughing

Gordonator SG

tried at home. card reader did encounter some interfacing issues as what ditzy says, but not a big deal after i installed some drivers. works fine now. Mr. Green

now thinking of buying a bigger sized MMC card. all MMC cards in the market should be compatible with the 6230i right? Question

do 6230i only accepts MMC cards?

chanff8 SG

Only MMC and perhaps RS-MMC (With extension). At most get 512mb. More than that and your phone may be laggy

ditzy SG

Hey, the 6230i is a mobile phone, not a card reader. Laughing
