dku-2/ dku-5 differences? - GSM-Forum

dpm · 02-22-2006, 10:46

So I've just upgraded from a 6610i to a 6230i, and find out that I need a different data cable, even tho both phones are pop-port. Anybody know what the difference is?

While I'm here...

Is there a version of DataSuite that'll work with the 6230i *and* run on w98se? I think I tried v5 or 5.8 a while back for the 6610i and it worked, but seemed buggy and slowed the pc a bit.

and finally

Where would one find a copy of the "classic phone" driver that windows wants if I connect the phone via IRDA?

dku5 cable contains electronics circuitary, in main: the USB to serial convertor.

the newer phones like 6230 have this convertor built into their hardware, therefore the dku2 cable is simply wires connecting the USB port to the pop port.

best upgrade to win xp mate

although i did have data suite and nokia 6230 working in 98 some year ago, but like you say, it is buggy and slow

Gotcha. Hmm, too sensible that they'd only have one version of pop-port eh?

I sortof reckoned that was going to be the answer on the software front. There would be no issues using a bluetooth connection tho, right?

Thanks!

well the difference in pop ports is because better technology available when design/making the newer phones

i am not sure about bluetooth, i had windows 98 (first addition) and it did not support bluetooth. there was many drivers missing from the install

maybe SE is better, you will have to try
