is it possible to make a data cable for nokia 3510i?
it's almost impossible to buy that cable in Israel, making one might be the only option fragend013.gif

It's not that easy as i live in Israel (shipping costs, international shipping etc.)
the only Israeli online store that sold it told me it's out of stock and won't be anytime soon
Coz
There is a cell phone store located in Japan or some Asian country that is really popular (but the store name escapes me at the moment) and will not charge high exorbant shipping overseas and too different countries.

In fact I ordered stuff there before (you think I would have remembered the name?) and the shipping was 'normal' priced.

If I find it, I will let ya know.
Coz
Update:

I found it, it's located here: http://www.cellphoneshop.net/?AID=876436&PID=227502

And, they are located in Hong Kong. The shipping takes a little bit longer then normal, but the prices are good.

$20.89 with shipping to Israel

That's alot cheaper than frying your phone.
seems to lots of cheap/free software once you have the cable
Yair
i googled and found that i need "Oxygen Phone Manager" (Nokia's software doesn't support this phone), i will download it once i get the cable

do i need anything else? driver maybe?

seems odd that the Nokia software doesn't support their own phone icon_question.gif

It is odd because this is a GSM phone.

I would be careful about the cable and software because you could mess up your phone but of all chances it won't work.

well it's not supported at least officially

that's why some say it's working some say it doesn't (maybe a version of the Nokia's software meant to work with cellphone X works with mine too)

Oxygen Phone Manager supposed to be the best anyway icon_biggrin.gif

it's a buggy phone anyway icon_razz.gif
i actually found a combination of Hebrew and English letters (some capital some not) that make the phone restart when written as SMS

It's not odd that it doesn't work cause it's a GSM phone... It's odd because normally the phone should be supported by Nokia's software, but I guess that whether it is or not, is up to them...

As for software damaging your phone, the only software that will damage your phone are ones that rewrite the firmware on the phone, but as a side note.. using a third party application does void your warranty, so if it does by chance wreck your phone.. you are screwed...
Yair
can they even tell what program i used? (assuming there is a way to make Nokia's software work)
Earthman
If their aoftware doens't work with that model, then they would assume that you are using a third party piece of software... it's a very rare occurance, but I have seen a third party app kill a phone here...
Yair
then ill take this chance, you can say that about every mod/oc/tweak icon_smile.gif

i received the cable today, they are indeed pretty fast

i ordered in April 19
they sent it in April 20
it got here in April 28
and i took it from the post office in April 29

i usually wait at least a month for a package from other countries

and the cable works great icon_smile.gif

Good Stuff... Have fun with it!
