Nokia 6100 & Infrared

Hi all, last week i bought myself the Nokia 6100 and now i want to connect it to my pc to upload some images, sounds, java applets (thats the reason why i chose this phone with my new contract, i started a course for java as well )

Now i hoped the cable to connect my phone to my pc would be included in the package .. but bad luck

the cable is for sale for 59 euro .. which is a bit much for a cable if you ask me ..

of course i can also connect it to my pc using the infrared port .. but my pc has no irDA adapter yet. i have seen a lot of those on the internet varying in price from $18 to $40

the advantage of this is that i can use the adapter for other infrared devices as well in case i buy something else in the future

do you have any advice to which adapter is nice and which isnt ..

so far i have :

any advice at all would be very very welcome

btw i live in the netherlands, in case that makes a difference

(and while we are at it .. in case you have some nice bookmarks for downloading images/sounds/applets/.. for the nokia6100 .. i am in your debt )

thanks in advance

A bit late in replying but nevertheless...

I've checked your phone and it's not a bad phone. If I were you as far as adapters to check in eBay because 3rd party manufacturers are pretty good and cost a thousand times CHEAPER than the original Nokia products. The quality is good. I have a Nokia 6610 (don't know what model it's running under in the Netherlands but I bought a Set for it including a 12V car-charger, a leather case w/belt clip (fits the phone well) no problems with typing, antenna booster (really helps) and a COM cable adapter (Nokia's DKU-5). No difference in performance. Works just like the original at low cost. I won the auction at 8€ plus shipping and handling. Total cost 15€.
