You're better off with a generic infrared adaptor.

No problems with connectivity, Nokia PC suite will work fine, as will most
other progs, eg Logomanager, Oxygen.

Not sure what good a dongle will be with a 7250i as, as far as I know, it
doesn't connect to anything dongleish.

When I had a 7250i I tried using a non branded cable and it wouldn't work
for me either. Bought a proper Nokia one and all was well. Logic says that
there's not anything which can be done to a cable to make one sort work and
another not (other than cutting it, of course) yet, the proof was in the
connecting.

the cable is a cheap copy, so i only cab use it with oxygen phone manager,
temporarilyu trhe free version, or pay 29 euro for the full version

you tip is to buy a (cheap) USB to IR and have the Nokia suite free

does anyone know the difference in Nokia suite and OPM ? onn possibilities,
stability ?

tnx

1. ProLific PL-2303 isn't DKU-5 cable. DKU-5 cables are always and only
Nokia production.
2. You can use this cable only for data synchronization ( modem functions
doesn't work for this cable) with Oxygen Phone Manager II (
http://www.opm-2.com/ ). In our program in 'Tools' -> 'Options' ->
'Connection and common' -> 'Connection' -> 'Add port' you should set virtual
COM port from 'Control panel' -> 'System' -> 'Hardware' -> 'Device
manager' -> 'Ports COM and LPT' (it has 'ProLific USB to Serial bridge'
sign ). Set cable's type as 'DLR-3/DLR-3p'. Don't set 'DKU-5' option ( it
works only with Nokia original cables ).

Note: ProLific cables may not transfer correctly or transfer at all MMS,
JAVA, poly-tones and color images information. ProLific cable connection
voids your phone's warranty.

You can download the latest free trial of Oxygen Phone Manager II here:

http://www.opm-2.com/download/opm2.zip

If you have any questions and/or suggestions, concerning our
program, feel free to post them on our official forum
http://www.opm-2.com/forum/

I have had similar problems with DKU-5 / Nokia 6100 / SOny Vaio
notebook. Took couple days of trying to load/unload all settings and
finally I read all info on Nokia's website and installation guide.
Problem was solved immediately if one follows the instructions
correctly in sequence:
Do not connect DKU-5 first
Load Cable driver
Load Modem driver
Re-start PC
Connect DKU-5
It is recognized and installs correctly
Re-start PC
Then load Nokia Suite software

It should work fine.
