[tosullivan]

I just got one of these phones...how do I connect it to my PC to sync my contacts & calendar using PC Suite?

Bluetooth as it doesn't ship with a cable?

 

[tosullivan]

any idea what type of cable?

my laptop doesn't have bluetooth...can I get a usb dongle for it that allows me use bluetooth?

Yes but it will cost about the same as the cable & will be a good deal slower

there doesn't appear to be any USB connector on the phone and Nokia don't list a cable as an accessory.

DLink (D-Link ?) or Kingston do USB 2.0 compatible adapters

ok thanks, just ordered one from DX

there is a little port on the phone that is like a mini usb but only smaller. The manual says its for authorised used only. Any idea what its for?

It might be for firmware upgrades / diagnostics in the shop.
