    I've seen that a DKU-5 data cable is available for the 3585i for purposes of
    linking to a PC and possibly utilizing the phone as a wireless modem. I've
    got three questions:

    1. Is the wireless modem function just a theory or has anyone ever made it
    work?

    2. Do special arrangements need to be made with either the cell company or
    the ISP?

    3. Why is the cable so darn expensive? I'd pay $30-40 to utilize wireless
    internet on occasion but I don't want to pay that much just to download some
    ringtones.

    Once you get the cable there's a full suite of software that you can
    download from Nokia's site for free, including drivers for the cable.
    (windows computers only, though). See:

    Knowing this it's pretty obvious that the cable is priced like it is to
    subsidise develoment of the software.

    I haven't tried the SW yet (i've got a 3585i and an on the fence about
    putting down the $$), but I've looked through the online manuals and it's
    quite tempting.
