This is one cool gadget.  Stuff that cost extra on my previous phone (data cable and software) is not needed here - I have an infrared port on my laptop.  My Outlook Address book transferred via infrared in seconds. The software to do this is free from Nokia's web site and installs in minutes. You can also do it with the BlueTooth connection (a BlueTooth USB adaptor is under 40 bucks!)  What I think is really cool, is that the phone is a modem for my laptop - again via infrared or BlueTooth. A also use a BlueTooth headset, and again, it was a snap to install.
