Hi..

I'm considering whether to buy the official SE data transfer cabel for my T310, or buying a IrDA USB Dongle.
What works best? How does it work?
I mean, can i transfer data from my phone to the PC?
And how? I wan't to make sure because in DK each of these costs about 50£ (which is a lot of money to throw out the window if it does not work..)
The happy owner of a SE T310.
Genious phone..Compared to the phone i had before (Siemens C45)..

Go for the IR dongle. I have SE DRS-11 cable and can only send files TO the T310; using cable you can't retrieve anything from your T310. This cable limitation does not however apply to other more advanced SE models.

Jeg startede også ud med at købe det officielle USB datakabel. Men foruden at være en pine at sætte op, havde sine begrænsninger! (nope - man kan ikke sende noget fra telefonen til computeren).

Jeg har købt en IrDA og senere en BT dongle. Har du pengene så gå efter en Bluetooth dongle, ellers er infrarød vejen!

Thanks to both of you.

I've already ordered a IrDA Dongle, for 199 dkr. (which is about 17-18£). Found a cheap one on a danish phone accessorie shop.

And for Drow--> A Bluetooth Dongle won't do, because of the simple reason that SonyEriccson decided not to include bluetooth to the T310.
But i can live with IrDA.

Just got my IrDA Dongle.
Works perfect (using WinXP Pro). Just plugged it in and a shortcut to a file transfering program popped up at my desktop.

IR is by far the easiest way to transfer stuff.
