Nokia 6230i, data cables and music uploading
-
hi, i've just bought a 6230i and is planning to upload my mp3s onto the phone.
but before i can do that i need to buy a data cable first. so was wondering which cable is better? the CA-42, CA-53 or DKU-2? (refer to website below)

or will bluetooth be better?
i'll using Windows ME so will the Nokia Audio Manager inside Nokia PC Suite be compatible with my OS?
truely appreciated it if anyone can help. thanks. -
If its uploading to the removable storage card, get a separate card reader/writer is cheaper and way faster.
-
If you want to transfer mp3s, it's best to get the data cable. Bluetooth's transfer rate will be too slow.
But personally, I bought a card reader, transfer my mp3s onto the card and then put back the card in the phone. -
thanks. i'm using MMC card to storage the mps. any useful website i can refer to for the card reader? compatible with Windows ME?
-
me infra from laptop to the fone......
and for fark sake, stop using windows many errors. -
the MMC card can be put into a SD/MMC Card adapter. then just use a card reader, usually found in any IT shop, to connect to your USB port on your PC.Originally posted by Gordonator:thanks. i'm using MMC card to storage the mps. any useful website i can refer to for the card reader? compatible with Windows ME?
transfer your MP3s, voila! you can take the MMC card out, put it back in your phone and it's good to go. -
But since you're using windows ME as mentioned above, you can prepare for some interfacing issues.
-
if i buy the card reader, will i still need Nokia Audio Manager or Nokia PC Suite?
-
No.

thanks ditzy, thanks all. bought the reader just now while out for lunch. works fine in my office's PC. going to this evening when i get home on my windows ME.
only complain is the phone is badly designed as i have to shut down, take out the back cover, the battery only then can i take out the MMC card. -
We reckoned you already figured that one out.

use cable instead of card reader. Then less tear n wear by taking ur batt out, etc
-
use card reader instead of data cable, less wear and tear on data port of phone due to data transfer.
-
use bluetooth or infrared, less wear and tear on physical components
-
wear and tear on the data being transferred, data has to be broken up into packets and joined back.Originally posted by alexkusu:use bluetooth or infrared, less wear and tear on physical components -
card reader so much more easier. cable still must run the software to upload the files.Originally posted by alexkusu:use cable instead of card reader. Then less tear n wear by taking ur batt out, etc -
precisely.
argue so much haiyo that ditzy. -
tried at home. card reader did encounter some interfacing issues as what ditzy says, but not a big deal after i installed some drivers. works fine now.
now thinking of buying a bigger sized MMC card. all MMC cards in the market should be compatible with the 6230i right?
do 6230i only accepts MMC cards? -
Only MMC and perhaps RS-MMC (With extension). At most get 512mb. More than that and your phone may be laggyOriginally posted by Gordonator:tried at home. card reader did encounter some interfacing issues as what ditzy says, but not a big deal after i installed some drivers. works fine now.
