i bought an infra red usb beam for my pc, works well with my 6610, but phone manager and some other functions on PC suite won't work...

thanks

thanks

no problem

I bought an aftermarket cheapo off ebay.. and it works great with my t68i. Never had any problems. The only thing I've had problmes with was with my windows 98 ..cause it didn't ahve the infrared drivers... BUt i changed to win2000 and all's been well since

My IrDA device (USB) works fine with XP.
It only doesnt work with windows Longhorn pre alpha release.

I've got a 7210, and I'm using PC Suite.
it works fine with IrDA.

first, I had a datacable, but that ain't working, if its not an original nokia cable.

damn.... good for you, bad for me

such is life...

my phone manager doesn't function, it doesn't recognise my phone....

save that feature, everything else is dandy... [just annoys me that's all ]

question. Would a usb infrared for a pda work for my n7210 or any mobile.

i bought an infrared usb cable from a local store and i cant seem to get it to work can anybody suggest reasons why??

why not just buy a USB cable? really need IR?
