Nokia PC Suite (Sync Help)

I just bought a Nokia 6101 and also ordered a usb cable from ebay to use with the phone. I can't seem to synchronize my Microsoft Outlook contacts to my phone even though I have it set up in settings. How do I correct this problem?

Also when transferring ringtones to my phone it takes incredibly long, could this be because I don't have the authentic Nokia cable?

My last question is about the quality of ringtones. I thought this phone was supposed to be able to play ringtones well but in comparison to my Motorola v300 they sound horrible. I make my rings tones at 44100 Hz with a bitrate of 64kbps.

make sure that the the pc suite (I assume that you're using one) is for 6101, I have bad memories about pc suites anyway

Okay the cord I bought seemed to be broken or something of the sort. I ordered the authentic Nokia cable and everything seems to working fine. I still can't get over the fact of how horrible ringtones on my phone sound though.

Sounds like the 'off brands' are more off than one might think. That's good to know.
