First i use to connect my phone through PC suite to transfer stuff, but now i realized my phone has an option to use the memory card as a mass storage device. When i select that option, my card is shown as a removable device. This feature doesn't require any phone drivers to be installed on the PC. |

Better late than never - but did you never notice the window opening, windows asking what to do??? you can drag files straight into phone folders etc etc... handy in public places where you cannot just instal pc-suite!!
hope you enjoy the new-found freedom 
(@boba, when you connect usb to pc in data mode instead of pc-suite, windows explorer will open... you can then "explore" phone content, copy stuff to pc...or copy files to phone, drag and drop... Don't need pc-suite for that!!!)

K800 is the same, all SE have drivers in the phone already.

Hi all,
Well to be honest i always use the PC Suite and as each new version arrives IMO it just gets better. Even the old version worked under Vista for me and the new versions is even better compared to other PC Suites the Nokia version is very fast and stable in my experience of it.

I mostly use my cable too, athough I have a small card reader. When I'm at public places like internet clubs, I just download the driver for my K750i from the official SE site, or install it from my Flash Memory, or I use my card reader. I also had excelant bluetooth by micronet which didn't need any PC Suites or drivers if you have SP2 (Service Pack 2) for XP, but someone has stolen it from me (I work at one internet club, so someone has stolen it when I forgot it there).
Here are two links where you can download driver for K750i :

Well if you are using a Smart phone they make your life simple as they keep in sync all your calendar and contacts and enable you to transfer Pictures, Video, Documents both Word and PDF, spreadsheets Music and install additional apps and themes all in a simple and easy way. Yo can even make backups of your phone if needed and then restore them. For me it means i have everything i need from my computer with me where ever i am always and unless both my computer and device die at the same time i always have a working up to date copy.

Memory Card-reader does it for ME, most of the time . . . but my Dad uses the data-cable when transferring files . . . he said it's faster, but I am more convenient using the card-reader . . .
