Hi there!

Good choice on the Nokia 5100! All the games that play or are designed for Nokia 7210, 6610, 6100, 6800, 5100, 7250, and some unlist others will play perfectly on your Nokia 5100! Sorry, but I am unsure about the ones for a 3510i, but there shouldn't be any harm in trying!

The software can be downloaded from Nokia, just use Nokia PC Suite 5.x as it's pretty basic and easy to use, otherwire MobiMB is a bit more powerful with more features. You'll require a Pop-Port Data Cable or Infra-Red device to upload the games though...

Good luck!

series 30 games (3510i and 8910i) will work, but they will be smaller than the screen as the resolution in series 30 models is lower.

Thanx for the answers. Ive found a cable ill bye over at irwebonline.co.uk its a USB to Nokia 5100. It should work. Where is the best place to download games for the phone?

4th attempt at replying! I've narrowed the problem down to happening when I add a URL to the reply...

Anyways, here goes again: Basically to get you started, your best bet is to purchase one of those cheap Phone Software C.D.'s off eBay.com.au. As they will come with a bundle of cracked games, ringtones, both polyphonic and normal, walpapers, operator logos, multimedia and picture messages, etc. Also, the bonus is generally they come with cracked programs like MobiMB and others which is relly handy as you'll need these to stick the stuff onto your phone!

Otherwise, to start off try groups (such as MSN and Yahoo! Groups) and look in other members here on this sites signitures. You'll find that quite frequently other users signitures contain URL's for there (or other websiutes they have found handy) websites which have the things you are after for download, or else links to where you can get these!

To get you started check out FreeFoneTones.com. The name should be helpful enough to let you work out the URL, as I'm not going to try adding one in again!

Finally got that reply done! Anyways, just thought I'd post the URL for that site I suggested, the site is FreeFoneTones.com at http://www.freefonetones.com. I've found to stop that funny refresh/information loss problem I have to type in the hyperlink myself instead of using the automatic button located above...

Let me know how you go and some time soon I'll make a Zip File with my Top 15 games for the Nokia 5100 and other compatiable phones. If you have any recomendations for this list, let me know in the thread I created in this section - it also lists my current Top 15...
