Is there any way I can transfer files without installing nokia pc suite? windows recognizes the phone but it can't install drivers by itself

maybe a workaround would be downloading and installing pcsuite when i want to transfer files, but it's a bit of a hassle, and at some places i'd need to do it in computers where i'm not allowed to install software, so it'd be nice if there was a "no install needed" software to transfer files

ideas anyone?

thanks in advance

No such way, I'm afraid (except if you use the original N-Gage as your phone; with it all you need to do is to connect the USB cable).

no such way and that's it? no one has tried to figure out something about this?

i'v seen another nokia phones (not the ngage) that can be used like that, there should be some way to do it, maybe no one has looked at it yet

No you haven't (or the PCs have all had PC Suite installed).

Yes he has. Though the way I've seen it requires a Mac and does it wirelessly with bluetooth.

He still hasn't seen it on a PC/Windows as requested in the original post (and installing Apple's iSync on a Mac is comparable to installing PC Suite on a Windows PC, I think; and PC Suite works wirelessly with Bluetooth, too).
