    yep when I had one it worked fine over IR.

    I think the program was Phone Manager or something..

    edit: here it is - its called File Manager - go to sonyericsson.ie select your phone and select software

    Their File Manager program is over 34MB to download, which is ridiculous. But it seems the only available program to transfer clips/pictures from the 300i to the laptop using infra-red.

    Hmmmmmmmmm .... that would be extremely important.

    Go into your BIOS for starters to check. And if you have it, you many have to enable it there. And when you go into Windows, you many have to enable it there too. And then start it so it can listen for infra-red devices.

    Also look for a small dark red or black square piece of glass on the side of your laptop. That would be your infra-red port.

    A Gateway about 5years old.
    Can't find any red port so I'll nip down to the PC store on Tuesday to get the
    necessary thingy.Any idea of the cost?

    Don't think that you can buy a 'thingy' (external infra-red port) for it.
    I would recommend that you buy a connection cable (for your phone to a PC) instead.

    If you have working USB you can buy a USB IR port cheaply enough . If you don't you can buy a serial IR port adpater. The USB one is cheapest but you'll need at least Windows98SE to be sure of the uSB working...

    Bought a dongle off e-bay for e10.Took about two weeks.
    Works well.Can play video thro windows media player but no sound.Also sound recordings need a AMR player.Pictures OK too.
    Anyone know where I get a free AMR player?
