Although my Bluetooth connects fine to my 6600. The Data Suite will not connect to my phone.
It is the same when I have tried with the Infra-Red, again it will not connect although the Infr-Red will connect with it's own 'Handset Manager' programe.
Every effort to contact Nokia for assistance just sends you around in circles back to the same switcboard and just clocks up a large phone bill.
Nokia PC Suite = Bloody Useless

I Upgraded My Nokia 6210 To A Nokia 6310i Mobile P
I upgraded my Nokia 6210 to a Nokia 6310i mobile phone and tried to use Nokia Mobile Data Suite 4 (Content Copier 1.3) to copy the settings between them.
When copying the content to the new phone it failed and the phone switched itself off halfway through - NEVER TO SWITCH ON AGAIN !!!
I replaced the phone and tried again - same problem.
Looks like I'll be copying the data over by hand !!!

I Was Looking For Software To Connect My Nokia 831
I was looking for software to connect my Nokia 8310 to my PC so I could swap contacts and appointments from MS Outlook. I found this in Nokia's FREE Data suite.
The software has several components as part of its single install executable:
Content Copier
PC Wap manager
Phone Editor
PC Graphics editor
PC Ringtone Composer
Connection Manager
The phone connects to the PC using IrDA and appears under the 'Connection manager'.
The Phone Content Copier allows copying of ALL phone contents to PC, PC to phone, phone to phone. It is possible to read/write sections of the phone e.g. Phonebook, Messages, Settings. Files saved to PC are in the readable CSV spreadsheet format. The phone contents are saved as separate files such as 'phonebook.csv', 'messages.csv' and so on. A very good way of doing things as these are very easy to read using Excel and it's possible to import to PIM's such as Outlook.
The Syncronisation manager provides syncronisation with a PIM such as Outlook. I haven't played with this a great deal but it seems to do its job and sycronises calendar and contacts... Very business practical. I'm sure when I get an Ir port at work, this feature will become very useful.
Ringtone Composer allows the editing of ringtones, It has load and save features and again works reasonably well. Ringtones annoy me but I can see the appeal of this tool to kids.
The PC Graphics editor is a nice tool for the creating and editing of all sorts of logo's on the phone. It works quite well as logos created here can be saved on the phone and used in SMS messages. it can change the operator logos too (nice).
The PC Wap Manager is a bookmark and settings manager. It also works well allowing you to change all the settings and bookmarks again offering the ability to save to .csv. I like Nokia's use of standard file formats. It is much better that other software I've seen that uses their own format.
The Nokia Phone Editor is perhaps the jewel in this software collection as this tool offers Full control of the phone. You can add/remove contacts and messages in realtime reading and writing to the phone. It is also possible to save the SMS folders too thus allowing you to keep those amusing text messages that previously had to be deleted to make room for new ones.
Overall I couldn't ask for more in a software suite. It has all the key features and is very easy to use. Also it is Free and easily accessed although at 20mb it's a hefty download. I'd still give it a very high rating. A very impressive straightforward software collection.

for the MobiMB, as I still feel that this has the edge on other software due to its ease of use with the simple 'drag and drop' idea, and if you contact their support, [email protected], they reply quickly and efficiently- including giving loads of sites for free polyphonic ringtones, java games and colour logos if you have bought the MobiMB for 15.95 GBP.
Nokia PC Suite 5 does everything that you should need to do and it's free with the phone (a 6100 in my case) or can be downloaded from Nokia's site. You can easily convert MIDI files to polyphonic and upload them, as well as uploading graphics and JAVA games. Contacts/appointments etc. are managed and can be integrated directly into Outlook. SMS is included to allow direct input/output from your PC. It even connects far more easily by IR than previous versions. Why spend extra when PC Suite does it all?
Oxygen Phone Manager II is a honey of a piece of software for managing Nokia mobile 'phones but it is expensive and I can't find a crack for it. The Nokia PC Suites are frustratingly basic and don't give much ability to change the 'phones settings through the computer. Download Oxygen II and get tempted http://www.opm-2.com/
It's up to Version: 2.1.6 at the time of this writing.
Not so keen on this software- as it does not seem as polished as some of the other stuff out there, and I would expect more from Nokia. In terms of the new polyphonic phones- check out LogoManager for the SMS ability and phonebook management, but even better- MobiMB for transferrring colour logos, java games and polyphonic ringtones to and from the phone.
Agree that it's a good bit of software - I used the original as supplied with my 6210 a few years ago and then upgraded when newer version came out. Have had it installed on 98, ME and now XP with no problems - I know that there can be conflicts if users have somewhat 'iffy' software already on and ME is the worst OS out there. Data cable is the best method of connecting as IR can be a bit problematic. All components work well with no drawbacks. Have recently upgraded to polyphonic phone and am looking for comparable software so anyone know of any?
