Hi there

I have nokia E-75 and running vista ultimate sp1. I am not able to run Pc suit smoothly. i always hated it. is there any other programs that do a a similar job? i.e backups of cal, contacts messages, send text messages from pc.

thanks.

I use Exchange Server to sync my PIM data and email (overkill if you dont already have Exchange).
I use BluephoneElite 2 on my Mac to sync all SMS data.

Neither is a PC (Windows Desktop) solution sorry!

I often use PC Suite as well, and never had a problem with it (unless you have more than a few hundred messages in your SMS inbox)... are you running the latest version of PC Suite?

(I also have an E75).

i don't have many sms and yes running the latest, also i have added the pc suit folder in the exceptions of my antivirus so it doesn't bother it. but still no luck.

What is the problem?

There is also the new Ovi Suite out which is quite different.

Sorry but you're wrong :)

Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0 supports over 100 different Nokia S60 and S40 devices with more being added all the time. It should work on all Nokia devices based on S60 3rd Edition, S60 5th Edition, or S40 6.1 or newer.

It would be good to know what problems you're having so we further assist.
