Hi, I have done a fair amount of research on phones for the last few days and have decided to get the T300 with the camera attachment. The camera attachment was the determining factor for me and I absolutely want to be able to TRANSFER pictures I take on my phone to my COMPUTER.
Now, from what I've read, T300 doesn't have Bluetooth so the choices are IrDA or cable. And cable i've read that you can only send files to your phone FROM your computer not from your phone TO your computer. So that leaves Infrared.
I looked in my computers manual and I see no "infrared port". I looked on EBAY and I see many cheap "Infrared Adapters" that plug into a USB slot.
**MY BIG QUESTION** Will the USB IR adapters work for what I need them to do? or will l I have problems? Are there any brands to avoid?
I'm really out of my league here. Basically, I'm running kinda low on cash after buying the phone but I'd really like to be able to send my pics to my comp. I have no problems with buying used equipment I just want to know wether or not they will work.
Thank you for ANY help you may provide me,
Lurker

http://www.m-99.co.uk/PhoneAccessories/Infra_Red/infra_red.html the MA-620 should do this fine for you m8, altho i'm not sure about sending from T300 coz not used one, on the T68 all you had to do was connect via IR, then go into ur pictures and select Send via IR and it would send it to ur pc, so should be more-or-less the same for T300 i would have thought.
Hope this helps

Thank you very much for your response. But I am actually in the United States so ordering from over there and paying shipping isn't really possible for me right now.
I did notice the MA-600, MA-620 etc type stuff for those IR adapters... does the IR i get have to be one like that?
I was looking at something real cheap on EBAY. $10 + $8.50 S&H.
Here is a link to the auction:

Would this work? Can anyone tell me why yes or no?
THanks!

http://www.daydeal.com/real/usbirda.htm sell the MA620 with free shipping within the US, but it's $44.99 so probably too expensive. As far as I know, any IRDA adaptor will connect to ur fone, so that one fro e-bay should work fine m8

I use an ugly pink one... called the irjack got if off ebay and it works fine. You just have to make sure you have the windows ir drivers. I could get it to work on win98 but it's great on 2000. also make sure it comes with the drivers and the cables... or you'll have to buy a usb cable. but it's easy to use... just aim and viola..prompt available for transfer and then send that's it

i'm using Matrix USB-IrDA adapter. I've only have it since yesterday. Installed it on my xp pro and it works perfectly. I can send pics to my pc and as well from pc to phone. I've used serial caple before and it only worked in one direction- could't send files from phone to pc. So buy a IrDA adapter.
