Hmm...I'm wondering if a cable exists that would connect my Nokia 6160 to my Handspring Visor and allow me to surf the web.

There is a product by OpenWave called FoneSync (http://www.fonesync.com) that would allow me to download information from my PDA to my Nokia 6160, but nothing that would allow me to surf the web.

I've searched Nokia's web site, and found nothing. Same goes for Handspring's web site.

Does such a device exist? I'm sure it's not THAT difficult to make, and I know for a fact that my Nokia phone is very popular ... when I hear that damn_ringer and it's for the guy sitting next to me.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 6160 a TDMA phone?

If so, there's not a lot (if any) support for TDMA devices for internet connectivity, unless you're in Brazil (where I hear the provider there has enabled data connections).

Do a search on TDMA and you'll find a few more references. If your 6160 is a TDMA phone, you're pretty much SOL if you want to use it to connect to the internet.

Unhappy 61xx series

Another problem with the whole nokia 61xx series is that in order to connect to the phone, you need to have hardware flow control. The visor port does not provide that. I wish it did...
