General Comments

Wishing to backup my mobile phone contacts and sim card on my Nokia 6100 I ordered a datacable. After many attempts - I could not get the cable to create a connection with my phone.

Following further research on the internet, and reviewing comments in relevant forums I discovered this was a common problem.

I promptly returned the data cable and purchased an Infrared USB adaptor - suggested in many forums by individuals frustrated by limitations and problems experienced with such datacables. The Irda also allows synchronisation between your PC and other IrDa enabled devices such as PDAs and digital cameras.

Once installed I set up the software for my nokia phone - Nokia PC suite. I found it highly inadequate and not very user friendly. The contacts editor was also limited and there were issues regarding the mapping of number types between the phone and the PC software.

I then tried using the software -Handset manager - that came with the IrDa adapter. After many attempts and uninstall/installs the sofware did not recognise the phone - so I gave up on it.

Thankfully, after further research and much frustration, I discovered Oxygen phone manager II. Wonderfully easy to install and intuitive to use. I was using almost all its features within 30 minutes- having spent much time with the other products. OPMII also allows offline editing of phone book/sim etc.

It also allows synchronisation of multiple phones very easily - essential today when each member of a family may have different phones.

While Oxygen PM II must be purchased it is definitley worth it. I recommend it strongly. Some family members have already invested in it. I was sorry I did not discover it sooner.

It is way ahead of the "competition".
