I have just bought a Nokia 6300, and while I am happy with the phone itself, I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with a USB cable supplied. My previous phone, a Sony Ericsson had a cable in the box.

What kind of USB cable do I need? I want to be able to transfer files to my phone such as ringtones.

Cheers.

Id recommend just getting a bigger memory card for it (1GB min) and just get a card reader for your computer.
Transfers are MUCH quicker than over USB, plus its easier to organize the files and also quicker here aswell than using the PC Suite.

If you still need a USB cable, any USB will NOT do. You need one with a little end on the one side, like a digital camera's usb cable (which is what im using). When you go shop for one, obviously match the head of one to your phones USB connection.

it is quicker with a card reader, but because its a micro card they can be fiddly to get in and out plus you have to remove the back cover on the 6300, it might just be easier using a usb cable.

Can confirm this as when I got my 6300 I realised that it used the same connection as my digital camera,so i use the cable that came with that.

I'm happy I stumbled across this thread! I bought a NOKIA 6300 on Christmas Eve and I just realised yesterday that I couldn't find the USB cable. Like yourself my previous phone was a Sony Ericsson which came supplied with a cable (so I assumed all mobiles did). I was about to go back to the shop this afternoon to vent my annoyance!! Will have to check out my camera's USB cable. Hopefully that will work.

You don't need software if you only want to transfer ringtones etc. I have a 6300 and you can just select "Data Storage" mode when you plug the cable in and it works just like any removable storage device. I haven't installed any software or drivers.

SWMBO and I both upgraded to 6300s in March this year, mine with Orange and hers with Vodafone. Both of us got a USB cable with our phones - has this changed then?

BTW got a 6500 classic at work a week ago and that came with a USB cable as well!


LCDMAN...................Likes the 6300 a lot!

I noticed the cables for these in my regular POUND SHOP, cant go wrong for a measly QUID... can you?
They are just regular USB cables with usb plug on one end and a "SMALL" type other end

I have this phone and i love it... i can highly reccommend www.zedge.net for themes and stuff....

Enjoy
