Is this possible? I got my K700i today have been attempting this for the last hour or so. I downloaded a pdf from sony telling me how to sync my phone using a USB cable but the dock doesnt seem to install properly. Will I need to buy a DCU-11 cable?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yeppers it will.

Borrowed a workmates P800 station ( installed as a DSS-20 ) to upgrade the firmware on my K700i. Saved me having to buy one just to do firmware upgrades.

Cheers.

I use the K700i + DSS-20 combination a lot with no problem. What software are you using? I use Float's Mobile Agent and I can access everything in my K700i through my PC.

Just make sure your settings are correct -- make sure the COM port assigned is correct.
resistance is futile.

Im using the software that came with the phone, and the P800 software for the sync-station. The station doesnt install properly and it never reconises when a phone is connected.
