    Serial ports are almost obsolete now. Some modern computers come with 1 serial
    and 12 USB ports...

    What do you plan to use the cable for? Have you considered InfraRed instead?
    Then if you change the phone you can still use it.

    To start with it'll be for logos/ringtones etc. but I will also be wanting
    to use it for connecting the internet in the future.

    I have thought of IR but you've got the line sight game to play. Use to have
    a 6210 and much preferred using the cable! (Got an old laptop that's a bit
    broken now, so have used IR.. I'll get round to a new laptop one day).

    Just worried that I'll lose some functionality if I get the wrong one. So
    USB or serial? Or do they both have the same functionality of being able to
    do both logos etc and the internet?
