They should all work just fine. As far as I know they are all built to the same specification (I'm happy to be proved wrong though).
If you're thinking of buying a USB device for sync'ing your phone I would have to advise Bluetooth over IR though, it's so much more convienient. |

That's the one I bought and I had trouble setting it up. Apparently, you have to lower the speed of the data transfer for it to work. I figured this out after I posted a question and some guy was curising me because everyone who has questions about irda has this model, but I couldn't find anything in the archives, so I dunno :rolleyes Also, I haven't yet figured out how to connect using Sendfile(I'm sending/receiving data using the given transfer program). |

I did? I specifically recommended the Bafo BF120 (not the MA620 linked above) which looks like this one

Should work out of the box at the highest speed without any adjustment(tried on 7 different PCs myself), other than installing the driver. It's also smaller in size, but without any phone book management software, unlike the MA620. But the software doesn't work for all SE phones anyway.
