does anyone know if Mobile Action MA-8910c (USB) can transfer games and themes properly?

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=MA-8910

at the site it doesnt mention anything about games n themes...has anyone tried? or would it be more safe to use sony ericsson usb cable?:

but is it true it doesnt work with Windows XP?

To be honest I dont see the point in getting a phone specific cable.

A better idea would be to get an IRDA port, this is compatable with ANY phone that has IRDA capability. So if you upgrade your phone you dont have to get new cables and other hardware.

IMHO

It works a treat - just plugged it in, installed the supplied drivers then put my t68i in front of it, and my PC detected it straight away. Sent pics, themes, etc to it, and beamed back a couple of sound files. Well worth the money.

(and as a dubious bonus, it also works flawlessly with my gf's nokia 8310! - along with any other ir device - like my clie)

oh - and it comes with a handy usb extension cable too - so you dont have to mess about putting the phone behind the pc and all those sorts of shenanigans!
