        Hi, Percy
        I've met the same problem as you about MS3303H driver for data cable?
        I've tested the data cable in three different kinds of OS, WIN XP, WIN 2000 and WIN 98, and finally I found it wasn't the problem of the USB driver,but the OS of your PC!
        The same data cable does work on WIN 2000 and WIN 98 operating system without any trouble, but something wrong with WIN XP. So you can try your cable on other PC.
        I have sent the usb driver to you by mail.

              Best features in its price/class. The Nokia 6610i and K500/508 are available for roughly the same price and this phone eats the 6610i for breakfast. 65k color screen vs 4k colors. 128x160 vs 128x128 display. TFT vs that aging and poor quality/laggy STN dislay. 12mb memory vs 4mb. Decent VGA camera with video recording and playback vs a stone age CIF 388x288 camera. Gorgeous menu layout and colorful themes versus that boring Nokia interface. Rich 40 channel polyphonic tone with midi support vs tones that sound like a busted whistle. Quickshare connectivity allowing you to transfer almost anything to other SE phones in seconds. Advanced Java3D game support vs stone age games. MP3 audio and Mp4 video playback etc....

              The list goes on...

              Now to the flaws, first of all the K500/K508 series has poor build quality, which is rather creaky and weak for a phone of this class. The K500 is especially prone to scratches, while the K508 looks poor when that horrid orange light leaks out unevenly from under the keypad facia. I wont criticize it for lack of expandable memory and bluetooth, since this is a 2004 era phone and was the best in its price/class upon release.

              People who dont care for features may also find the Nokia 6610i a more 'usable' phone.

              Thats all folks.

                  I have shared(received) some folders using infrared and now my phone (k500i) is not working properly.
                  1. When i start a game it shows "Application Error".
                  2. When i play the recorded videos it says "Playback Failed".
                  3. Some of my pictures have disappeared.
                  4. Also the UNLOCK MORE CALLS options on bottom of display have disappeared.

                  Can someone help me out on this.
                  Is this a VIRUS.If so can install a ANTIVIRUS on my phone and where do i get it FREE.
                  I had bought this phone just 3 weeks back.
                  Thanks in advance.

                    Owner of a new K500i in the last 2 months and I want to ask you if
                    there is some of application(ex:java) wich can perform FM radio on the telephone.
                    It' a preety good phone but i wouldn' t mind a little bit more memory or a card slot!
                    Also Irda is quite slow and a Bluetooth connection is quite necessary!
                    For me i can say that I' d rather pick the FM radio in stade of the mp3 player.
                    (I already know your answer:pick a k700!:-) )

                                      if you want to remove the camera shutter sound , just go to setting> sounds and alerts> volume> and then reduce the volume down to zero, that'll solve your problem.
