hi again,im gonna buy me a cable these days to transfer pics from my t630(when i get it back) to the PC,ive downloaded FMA already for that purpose..the question is..which cable to buy? in the sticky it says to use a serial cable with FMA but i read somewhere else on the forum that you should use usb,so which one is the right one?

i use serial, tried USB but it is more hassle as it needs drivers etc installed. I would guess though that you could use either, but in my opinion serial is the best option, as long as you have a spare serial port on your computer, and you won't need to unplug another cable everytime you want to connect the phone.

I use USB as I find it faster than the serial (which I also have) and once installed it works like a charm

I use Windows XP (Home Edition), SE DCU-11 USB-cable and fMA (floAt's Mobile Agent) and it works excellent for me.
Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what I did to make it work, but I think it was quite straight forward, close to "plug & play".

yeah drivers should come with cable, a serial port is the same as what you would plug your printer into (unless you have a usb printer)
