:confused: can someone please give me some advice i want to transfer tunes and wallpapers etc.. from my pc to my phone but i am not sure what to look for i know its one of those usb things but some have different info which i dont understand i do not have infra red on my pc neither, ideally i would like a one that would work with a samsung d500/nokia 6230/ and a se p900 so i would think it would have to be a universal one (would that be right) any advice would be appreciated (preferably cheap aswell:D )

    for those phone models you would be best getting a bluetooth dongle (which plugs into your usb port)
    try ebuyer or ebay - should get one for £12-£15

    I agree with drahcir and go for a bluetooth dongle providing all phones support bluetooth (not sure about se p900). I've just recently bought this bluetooth dongle from i2020. Cost about £15 and is upto 100m (subject to environment).

    Had no probs with it but doesn't go as far as 100m but there again there are two solid brick walls between my computer and where I was testing it at the time. Has no problems in the same room as computer at all but when it involves having to go through a brick wall the bluetooth signal degrades.

    A cable solution would be way too expensive even if there was such a cable that worked with all three different phones!
