PC Suite is crap.

PC Suite for the Nokia 6600 is crap.

The phone is excellent, but please don't buy it with the idea of syncing to
Outlook like I did. The Nokia software simply does not work. You will just
end up angry and frustrated trying to get the thing to connect.

I can see a huge market for a third party application that can perform the
tasks that Nokia claim PC Suite can do.

That's for Linux. What about Windows?

My Outlook 2003 synchonises perfectly with Nokia 6600 and I had no problems
to connect.

I use the TDK Bluetooth device and used the below link to override the
Microsoft BT driver!

Maybe you can try the same advice for your device and see if that help!
Having used the above I've finally managed to get my BT to Outlook
connection sorted!

You can also try Oxygen Phone Manager ( http://www.oxygensoftware.com/ )
which I think is the best for Windows.

"I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on disk somewhere."

1) no need to post this twice
and
2) There are a LOT of nokia 6600 owners out there, and a LOT of them are
using sync .. infact, its a huge selling point for this phone.

PC Suite works perfectly fine for me, via bluetooth, to my 6600, with
syncing, on Windows XP.

I would suggest that rather than looking for alternatives, you look at why
YOU cant get YOUR computer to work.
