| | I got a new nokia 3120 the other day, and I thought... cool, I can upload stuff to my phone from my pc... unfortunately I feel that $70 AUD (about $55 USD, and apparently it was on sale, from $105 AUD) is waaay overpriced...
Is it just Australia or are they this expensive elsewhere, and do you feel that this is too much for a cable? |

It's not just Australia, it's the US as well. Of course it's too much! $55 USD for a jumble of wires. I could make that with a few specifications, online lookups, and materials for $15 bucks including electrical time wasted on the army system I play in between.

I bought one over eBay from Hong Kong for $10 w/ a CDR containing software... Unfortunately, I haven't gotten it to work, but of course that could just be me. Has anybody had any luck with Hong Kong phone cables?

I got a cable for a SonyEricsson T300 thinking it could provide GPRS internet for my laptop. It didn't provide anything. I still use IR to transfer files. Waste of like €30.

Is it just Australia or are they this expensive elsewhere, and do you feel that this is too much for a cable? Definitely they are _way_ overpriced!! Like all cables for hi-tech devices. For example - I urgently needed a usb printer cable for my printer over Xmas - so went to PC world and bought the cheapest cable they had which cost me 11.99. Normally I buy these types of cables from a computer supplier ( wholesale ) and the cost is 49 pence! I don't have to buy hundreds - I can buy one if I need - so the markup from people like PC World is crazy. This is where these companies make their biggest profits - and I am sure if you search around on the internet you can find ( a compatible ) cable much cheaper - especially if you look at Far East sites. Snag is postal costs -and wait. My supplier has a minum delivery charge of 12 quid - so its not worth it unless I need a few things - but if I do the saving is huge. I used to supply these to my customers and charge a fiver - which is still a big markup for me - but less than half the price of the likes of PC-World.

I love mobile phones, especially Nokias. I own a Nokia 6300 - it isn't anything special, a

Are Mobile Phones Dangerous?
- to the user's health... (110)
There has been much talk about the "microwave radiation" that mobile phones emit. View 1: Yes,
there is possibly some small risk from using mobile phones. It is vastly lower than the risks from
smoking, driving or crossing the road, and probably significantly lower than the risk from TVs and
TV transmitters. After many years of research, there is still no clear proof of any risk at all.
Statistics show that you are more likely to win a lottery jackpot, be struck by lightning, or even
spontaneously combust than you are to be damaged by using a mobile phone! You a...

much of space either. I just want one which I am able to text and call efficiently, that is the
purpose of my phone. Anything else, I have my iPod and Sony T100 for it....

use the same cells for transmitting or is a differente technology? I understand they are better
suitable for business, so I guess they're more expensive. Are they? I would consider getting
some of those radios, maybe for my family, what do you think? Do they have good reception? good

as I cant seem to find any reviews on it, just phone specifications. It looks really cool as a

it's side to text. Anyway - I hope someone out there can give me a definitive answer...
