Nokia 6230i Bluetooth/IRDA
3 Answers
I have just got a new Nokia 6230i for Xmas...and with that, i recieved some software for my computer, to allow me to put music, photos etc, onto my phone. However the programme said my phone could not be detected. Do i need a usb cable just to put music on my phone? Surely its pointless me having an mp3 player on my phone if i have to buy a usb cable just for it to work? is there anyway i can just use bluetooth with my computer to send and recieve files? please help!!
Thanks, Lou x

Or, if you have a MMR card reader on your PC, you can take the card out of your phone, stick it in the reader and drag your MP3s directly off your PC onto the card.
I have a 1gig card in my phone and its full of MP3s. I find this method is by far the quickest and easiest way of doing it.
In my experience the Nokia software that comes with the phone is pretty rubbish.
fly: yea, i'd agree. but the latest version is ok.
loulee: you have three main options here really.
1) get a USB cable for your phone
2) get a card reader that can write to the little MMC card inside the phone, and then put that back into the phone to listen to your music
3) get a bluetooth dongle for your PC, to transfer with bluetooth
the fastest will probably be option 2. and assuming you get a card reader device that writes to several card formats (the later, higher-end nokia phone for example use rs-mmc cards), then you'll be fine if you get another phone too.
i think the 6230i only has bluetooth 1 or 1.1; in which case it'll be slow for transferring music.
and a usb dongle will probably use the pop port connector, which works with several nokia handsets, but no other brand of handsets. a multi-card reader is your most versatile choice.
