Hi,
I have tried, everything, installing the latest usb drivers from the nokia site, and so on, but still I can't approach it as an USB device. Using win xp home. Does any-one know of a way to approach this as a usb device? Friends using macs can approach the device directly via usb, but pc owners seem to be shafted, with this horrible nokia pc suite.
Need to get photo's and video's from the ddevice and music files to the phone's memory.
So, are there any tools/apps out there to allow direct access via the USB cable provided?
Thanks

Vince, you are incorrect. Files created on the phone are compatible with MS Word and Excel. The Word files are created as .ewd and when you transfer across to the PC are then converted to .doc and are fully readable. I know this, because I have done it repeatedly. You have to be using MS Office 97 or above to read them. I dont know why you are having problems, but its not the phone's fault. You can also not edit powerpoint files on the phone, so I do not have a clue what you are on about there. Ref the camera, it DOES have a night vision mode, but it is automatic. Have you actually tried using the phone at night? Again I have and so I know the phone works. In bright light, the phone actually sucks, because you cannot see the camera screen. You sure you're using the same phone as me, beacuse it doesn't sound like it? I've also never had a problem with dust on the screen or scratches. I think you need to look at your phone a lot more closely and you might like it a bit more.
Noob, I'm starting to think it would be easier for me to drive there and sort it! :o) The Mame Roms I have which work are: Aeroids Deluxe Rev 2, Bomb Jack, Centipede (Rev 2 and 3), Crazy Kong (ALca, Jeutel, Set 1, Set 2) Dig Dug (Ataris, Set 1), Dig Dug (Set 1), Frog, Frogger (Moon Cresta), Frogger (Sega), Galaxian (Midway), Galaxian (Part 4, Part X & Turbo), Missile Command, Monkey DOnkey, Pisces, Q*Bert (US), Space Invaders, Space Invaders Deluxe, Super Galaxians, Super missile Atteck, Tetris (bootleg, cocktail set 2, set 1, set2). Hope that helps. If you still have problems let me know exactly what the problem is.

To make it all clear to people having doubts an regrets about this phone, is THE WAY people use it. This phone don't need to be "THAT" fast, because its already preloaded with basic MultiMedia needs. I understand why this phone should be fast, if you use this as an everyday PDA use. This phone like said before on previous comments, depends on how you use it, the only reason, it gets that upsettingly slow is the programs that which been installed, from sites that aren't manufacturely released.
I understand why people with regrets feel this way, this phone would be unbelievable if there was a processing hardware not a software, combined would be also helpful. Then it would make the phone process more like a Motorola E680/E680i
I currently have both mobile phones(Nokia 7710 & Motorola E680) my Nokia is, I admit slow, but gets my work done*, on the other hand my Motorola is unbelievable and never crashed yet or reboot by itself.
In Conclusion, this phone is slow, but don't try to put in more applications that would make it wore unstablelized.
There is a great improvement if the phone's firmware is updated, from 3.03 to 3.26 no more crashes and lags occasionally. But it is advisable to go to a Nokia Center to do a Flash, and not to do it yourself from getting the software online.
So basically the phone just really need a faster processor, and thats it. It requires more than fast processes, but if Nokia can start by updating thoughts into what people actually want then that would be a start.
Recommended to People?
YES, RECCOMENDED FOR PEOPLE WHICH WOULD USE THIS PHONE AS A MULTIMEDIA PHONE.
NOT RECCOMENDED FOR BUSINESS TYPES.
*HOPES THIS INFO HELPS

I had really high expectations from this phone, but after 3 months of using it, i think its letting me down. The widescreen is an easily scratchable surface that really irritates me! And its also a dust magnet too! the software is also slow, so slow that it takes 4 secs to open the messages menu! I have a 50% regret of buying this phone, I think i shud have bought the 9500 or another s60 smart phone coz there arent alot of apps for s90! Another disapointment is that docs, and sheets made or edited on the phone can not be compatible with MS Word, Excel, or Powerpoint anymore! A very big dissapointment!!
My 50% satisfaction comes from the superb MP3 player and radio. The megapixel excels in bright light and sucks big time at night, bcoz theres no night mode!

Nightcrawler, I've converted the Doom 3 demo that is going around the internet and put it on my phone. At full screen, it looks as good as the original with no choppiness. From what I have read, due to the size of the screen, you will notice lack of details due to the compression ratios used which becomes more obvious the larger the screen is. I have yet to do a "proper" film, but even if I did, I have no way of checking frame rate for you.

The 7710 can read (and create) Word and Excel files. It can also read (only) Powerpoint files. It can read any files from Office 97 and upwards.
Note complex macros and formating will not be correctly displayed / handled by the 7710 and its authoring capabilities are not huge (i.e you cant create a complex Word or Excel file).

about the latest 7710 firmware . it is version 3.0 . It has to flashed on the phone memory , so not possible to download from net and manually install it. requires a flasher and some other jazz . in india the version is available only in the level 3 nokia care centres. caution : leave it to nokia , firmware insatallation is specialized stuff and done by professionals only.
