off topic:SAMSUNG D500

[rburley]

I recently got the D500 and I have the serial cable to hook it up to my PC so i can download mp3's etc to my phone.
The problem is trying to work the thing!

The cable did not come with any software and neither did the phone so I am struggling to get it to work.
Any ideas?

The phone does come with sw.Did you buy a original SAMSUNG cable.I hope some one will help you

 

[rburley]

the phone does come with software, but that software is just the PIMS and file manager and image editor, it doesnt have the drivers or anything! iT is a original samsung cable

I have the D500, i can suggest you get the bluetooth dongle for it...much quicker, they sell from about R250

 

[rburley]

Yeah I want to get one.
Can you use a bluetooth headset with it, like when I use skype it would be nice if i could use bluetooth headset!

 

[lukea]

yes i think u can, haven't tried that yet tho

To use one with skype...

- u need a IP enabled headset (about R500)
- a bluetooth dongle, also with IP (about R250)

and thats all i know ....

 

[rburley]

do you know if the motorola hs810 has an IP?

D500 Data Connect

FIRSTLY, toss the serial cable aside... (this is the 21st century).

The two viable connection options are eitger BT or IRDA [ i say viable, because they're universal, ie do not have to replace it whenever you get a new handset].

SW: You need Easy Studio V2 - similar to V1 that was available with E700, X600 etc. This was supposed to be supplied in the box, but try Samsung Global Download Site or their service agents CSL COMBASE OR their call centre 086 072 6786.

Win 2k ... and on work 100%
