my old nokia 2280 died a few months back, it does turn on but i can see nothing on the screen, i can make and receive calls. i want to be able to take off my messages that are stored on the phone and transfer them to my pc.is it possible to do this with a data cable?
thanks :)

353304 2005-05-09 09:29:00 It's more like $80-100 for the data cable, but, yes, it would work... either that or take your phones into the Telecom store and ask them to transfer your messages and contacts onto your new phone... or send them to your email address. wintertide (1306)

353306 2005-05-10 06:23:00 I sell dku5 cables at around $30. quite cheap in hk.However I don't recommend using data cables.I tried a dku5 on my nokia 6230 and tried a dku4 for my nokia 6670.Data cable don't work properly!!! Ninjabear (2948)
353307 2005-05-10 06:54:00 A lot of the cheap DKU5 cables are based on the ProLific chipset, and they do not work properly. They are a "knock-off" of the real thing, its well known. Use Google. godfather (25)
