How does the 6600 connect to your PC?

The infosync website states:

Connection to desktop
- Docking station/Cradle No
- Cable No

Serial cable/cradle No/No
USB cable/cradle No/No

So I have to ask the question.....how does it connect to your PC? Surely not just by IR or Bluetooth?

[quote="Pagemakers"]Surely not just by IR or Bluetooth?[/quote]Surely yes. Same with 7650 & 3650/3600.

If it is connected by Bluetooth and I say add a new contact to the phone while it is connected, will it auto-update my PC or will I need to manually press the sync button again?

Nokia's PC Suite doesn't, unfortunately, autosync; i.e., you need to sync "manually" by initiating the process on PC Suite.

Epocware has that software, and I don't know if it is better than Pc Suite, but who knows? Give it a try! It's PC File Manager

I accually think that there might be a possibility of starting a sync from the n6600. Looking through the manual (FCC Website) I think I saw screenshots with Sync icons!

That would be quite great!

That's the Remote Sync (SyncML) client that syncs with a SyncML server (if you have one) through the phone network.

[quote="Pagemakers"]Is there any other software out there which is better than the Nokia PC Suite?[/quote]

I think Oxygen Software has a Manager for symbian devices in the works. The first version isn't good though. They are still adjusting with Symbian I guess.
