[more inside] <br /><br /> My computer doesn't have bluetooth or IR built in, but there are loads of different USB devices available. However, the range in cost is quite considerable. The cheapest ones cost about £10 on ebay, the ones from phone shops cost about £40. <br> <br> Anyone got a recommendation? <br> <br> My system is a PC running XP and my new phone is a SonyEricsson (if that helps). post:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.10588 Thu, 30 Sep 2004 12:48:45 -0800 davehat cellphone computers bluetooth XP SonyEricsson connectivity http://ask.metafilter.com/10588/How-to-connect-my-cell-phone-with-bluetooth-to-my-PC#191292 I bought <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000BVV37/qid=1096574325/sr=8-2/ref=pd_csp_2/104-7911700-5626358?v=glance&s=electronics&n=507846">this one</a> for about $20 US and I have the Sony Ericsson T610. I'm happy with it. When my phone is connected, it's just another drive under "My Computer". You can transfer files back and forth with ease. Great for downloading free ringtones and putting them on the phone, as well as taking pix off the phone and not paying the phone company. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.10588-191292 Thu, 30 Sep 2004 13:02:47 -0800 FreezBoy http://ask.metafilter.com/10588/How-to-connect-my-cell-phone-with-bluetooth-to-my-PC#191341 As for software, since it's a SE phone use <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/fma/">floAt's Mobile Agent</a> comment:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.10588-191341 Thu, 30 Sep 2004 14:43:30 -0800 riffola
