There are several ways to get data off of a 6600 to your PC. They are:

- Get a bluetooth dongle. This is by far the most convenient wai that I find.
- Get an IR dongle, and use IR to transfer to PC.
- Get a MMC card reader. You'll have to turn off the phone, remove the battery, remove the MMC card, put it in the card reader and then you'll be able to access it.
- You can send files via email.
- You can install a software which allows you to host files on ur phone, and get them thru the internet.
- You can upload your file to a place like Yahoo briefcase or somwhere using Opera and then get it from there.

I might have missed some. But atleast that's a start ;)

I'd recommend get a BT dongle... most future phones should support BT. And if they don't, are they any good? :rolleyes:

mmc card readers, cheapest, fastest, quite a chore to remove mmc thou. and, u cant install apps wif mmc card reader, unless u got a file explorer like fexplorer installed 1st. (then click on app/game to install using file explorer)

bluetooth is great, right click, send to via bt on ur pc. no need to align, no need to use pc suite. can use bt to install apps. not as fast, but decent speed.

i recommend u get mmc card reader if u transfer tons of files like mp3s/movies.

irda... sucks, dun get it :lol:
