Original OEM Nokia Data Cable Model CA-53

Up till last year, I was still fully into one of those old-school Sony CD-Walkmans for my music. My cell-phone was too old and could only be used to make phone calls..Then, I finally upgraded my cell-phone. So now all I needed to enjoy music from my phone was a USB cable to connect my Nokia to my old Compaq computer(the computer upgrade would come only recently). I first decided to order a no-name USB compatible cable, big mistake. So I went back and ordered the Nokia OEM CA-53 USB data cable, great choice! I've had the cable for about a year now and overall, it works great. The cable material itself feels much better than the generic brand I bought. For the most part, the music that I rip from my CD's are transfered flawlessly to my Nokia phone. The only minor complaint I have is that sometimes the physical connection between the USB cable and my Nokia phone is a little too easily knocked-off. So I have to take care not to touch the phone at all while data is being transfered. Overall this is a solid choice that I definately recommend for your Nokia phone.

The main attraction of this product is the low price. I have a Nokia 6126 Phone that is mentioned to be compatible with this cable. Well, it is...but it took an hour of experimentation and software downloads. The driver disk that came with this product didn't work on my XP machine. Apparently, the Software driver on the enclosed CD-R may possibly be out-of-date for some phones. It was necessary to download the PC Driver and the Nokia Software from the Nokia Website (a free download as of this writing)- After that, it worked just fine, although, during the install, there were some strange warnings that the USB cable was defective (it was not). Overall, I am satisfied to have save a bunch of money for a simple cable that probably should be provided with the phone in the first place.

The price was right and the product came promptly but the accompanying CD did not work at all, however I was able to download the software from the Nokia to get it to work and once that part was figured out it does the job just fine.

I have a 6126. This cable works perfect. The nokia software is great especially for being free. For those of you having problems remember this: 1) the cable does not go in easily the first few times. DOnt force it in but be firm 2)ignore all the software with the cable. go directly to nokia and get the free most up to date version 3) follow the directions they could not be easer as the software walks you through use and installation 4) always plug the phone into the same usb port - i noticed this glitch with my printer that the new windows tried to reinstall software as "new" even though you have been using it a number of times before. FOr some reason it registers it to a specific usb port only so just use that same one all the time. otherwise i love this. for $2 when ever other company is $50! Quick shipping from bargaincell.

So, my mobile is 6131, i bought this cable by 0.16$ and the shipment by 4.86$ crazy huh, why i give 4 stars, just to be fair enough, the cable is good, you can do almost every thing, fast transfer for files, connecting to the internet (in case you have GRPS activated from the network provider) and data and synchronise and so on, which all i was doing fine with the Bluetooth, slower but fine, why i bought this cable, to be able to update the firmware from 5.5 to 6.1 and i was wrong and the operation fail in the middle of the update and the mobile shutdown half uploaded and died, there was no other way but going to NOKIA and ask them to fix it and i paid fortune, so if you don't look for firmware you can buy this cable and you will be extremely happy, it is 0.16 but never buy it for a firmware update, please please please

The cord enabled me for the first time connect a cell phone to my notebook. It's a nokia proprietary cord and I used it with an older but really good Nokia. I couldn't believe how fast Windows Media Player recognized my phone as a device and I could transfer music to it. Although I did download Nokia PC suite, I never did figure out how to use that to just simply put ringtones in my phone. I ended up having to get a short-term data service, then that took care of the ringtones. I haven't tried it yet but I am sure transferring photos from the cell phone would work well with this. Anyway, the price was great.

I feel foolish having even considered purchasing this item. The price should've been my red flag but I still gave it a try. A crutial piece of plastic broke off of it as soon as I plugged it into my phone and then remained there, thus creating a new project of removing it. Most importantly, the cable doesn't work with Nokia phones, the company claims it does, but Nokia's drivers can't read it. I fought with this thing for hours, then broke down and called Nokia only to find out that most third party cables are not compatable. However, Nokia's representative was extremely knowledgable and helpful and that did reduce my frustration. Thankfully I paid next-to-nothing for this product. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THE USELESSNESS OF THIS ITEM.

Ok so I went to my local cell shop and I asked for the cable compatible for my brand new 6265i, fancy box, cool graphics. The price? Over 30! mmm let me think it over. Yeah right. It's just a cable and it does what is supposed to. I think I payed more for the shipping than the actual item... : (
