Is anyone else having problems when connecting the phone to a pc?
Most of the time the pc doesn't recognize the usb device..

It's driving me nuts.

Is Bluetooth a better option for transferring files, synching etc?

have you installed SE PC Suite?
it works fine for me ,but remember ,after you plug the phone ,u have to start the PC Suite so the phone can be recognized.
and make sure your phone is in transfer mode.

Yes I've got SE's PC Suite installed and it's running in the background.

Should i quit PC Suite after i've disconnected the phone? (like closing it totally (from the taskbar))
And then when i reconnect the phone, start the software again?

Let me give you an example what happens;
I boot up windows, PC Suite is automaticly loaded in the background, i connect my phone and windows recognizes the device. I do my business, and then disconnect the usb cable. (SE PC Suite still running in the background/taskbar)
Then a few minutes later when i need to access the phone again and I try and hook it up, windows doesn't recognize it.
It happens on my laptop and on desktop pc.

I must be doing something in the wrong order.. i just can't figure out what.

guess it's a pc suite bug.
i usualy don't keep it running in the background ,so when i plug my phone i start the pc suite app ,when i finish my work ,i unplug it and also close pc suite app (NOT minimize to tray). an later on ,i do the same process and it works fine for me...

I think I've isolated the problem..
It might be related to m-Router. .

I never even noticed it was running in the background too.. but it seems m-Router handles everything related to how the phone connects to your pc.

I'll check on it tomorrow.
