    I have bought this phone recently. I also bought(separately) a data cable with the CD having the EasyStudio internet suite. The problem is that USB data cable provided along with the CD is not able ot detect the modem inside the phone. The software suite provided alongwith is of no help. Someone please tell me which software to use for this phone, and where it can be downloaded from.
    Thanks in advance!

                  Dear Otto,
                  I could not find ANSWERING MACHINE in Specification of C200. Any link? Thanx.

                    To TK Saha:
                    The only difference I knew is that

                    x140 >> has mono radio
                    c230 >> has stereo radio

                    I read this on mobile-review.

                      Being a Nokia fan for years it was hard to turn to the C230. I have to get a phone with IR & FM-R without a camera (I've got a N3200) and this seems to be the next best choice after the N6810 which is not available over here. I just want to be sure of the IR capability of this phone (its not listed above as available, whats up with that?)... can it be used to transefer data to a pc and to connect to the net?

                        Yes, facing the SAME problem through datacable also.

                        I think the phone is not designed for PC Link. Only GPRS.

                        Anyone have more inputs on this?

                          HI tried to connect this mobile to laptop through IR port. Sdly, only the sms's got uploaded. There seems to be some bug in the software of the phone, because it doesn't upload the phonebook. Furhter, when I wanted to send some wallpapers to the mobile via the IR, the option is not available in the software of the mobile.

                          I had downloded the latest softwares given against this C-203 model. Does any one else find similar problems. What are the solutions for this problem?

                          Reds.

                            well, C200 is newer then X100, display is BETTER, plus C200 got ANSWERING MACHINE ..which X100 doesnt, my opinion, go for C200... memory is essential if u recieve more MMS etc..

                              I would like to buy C200 (no FM & dual band). But I found X100 has similar features with more memory. Can anybody explain the difference between them. Thanx.

                                  Does this cell phone have InfraRed?
                                  MyMobile magazine has reported that it does not. Is there a special version without IR launched for the India market?
                                  What is the price in INR in Mumbai?

                                  Thanks and regards,

                                        Hi Sumit,

                                        Price of Data Cable was 900 rs. and ya its from Samsung. (but now i know other cheap cables are also available. but anyway. the samsung one is working fine.) If you look for non-samsung, ask for samsung X430 cable. i think they are compatible.

                                        Yes i surf Internet through this GPRS phone. i connect my phone to PC with this cable and use everythingn of internet (mails, surf etc.etc.) but you need GPRS enabled mobile service provider. mine is Airtel. the rent in my area is 150 rs. flat. no other charges (air time etc.) at all. it works.

                                        no datacable from samsung without any software/cd. others do give cd.

                                        Hope this clarifies your doubts.

                                        -KK

                                        Hi Kishore,
                                        I also purchased a c230 2weeks back.u mentioned "purchased data cable 4 this phone & able 2 surf GPRS very well thru PC."
                                        Wats the price of data cable,& is it frm
                                        samsung,if not,from which vendor.is d same available thru online purchase?
                                        What do u mean by surf GPRS thru PC. does it mean that using d data cable & c 230, u surfed internet in yr pc.?
                                        & about yr question regarding "But im not able 2 do PC link 2 this phone." Doesn't that datacable has some software, u shud b able 2 do with that... secondly i think u need 2 download d softwares available in
                                        samsung website also...
                                        bye sumit calcutta
