Download the Sony Ericsson data suite and that'll do everything for you.

I'm not sure about the pricing but check with 3, they should be able to advise you.

Yes you can use a cable, but bluetooth is so much handier to use.

You can download joiku onto your phone and no need for a cable

Can mobile + laptop be used with any GPRS PAYG service? I tried this with the Sony Ericsson data suite on Vodafone and Meteor and it didn't work straight out of the box, although the phone browser worked. Is there anything to do done at the network end to enable something, and can this be done for PAYG? Has anyone this setup working on PAYG.

Go to Start Menu => Control panel.
· Double click "Phone and Modem Options."
· It will bring up a small window with 3 tabs, select the second tab "Modems."

Your phone should be listed if it is detected.

This will check that the laptop and modem are communicating correctly. If this doesn't work the modem isn't being detected and may
need to be paired again.
