Hi,

I recently bought a Nokia 3100 (Glow in the dark) for my girlfriend. I also bought the data cable, which came with Windows software. My problem is difficult. My girlfriend has an iBook G4 12" without bluetooth (hence the reason why I didn't buy her an BT phone), so I connected the phone thru USB to her iBook, and ofcourse, nothing happened. I expected this. Luckily I installed VPC with WinXP on her iBook a month ago so I tried connecting it likewise. I installed the cable drivers and even the Nokia PC Suite software for Windows. But the colors of the GUI are all messed up, and I can't get the phone connected to her iBook.

Does anyone kow any solutions to this problem? It would be great if anyone knew any way to connect the 3100 to her iBook directly (without VPC), but if not, does anyone know what the problem could be with the VPC connection thru USB? (it can't be the port because it connects any other USB peripheral perfectly!)

thanks in advance!

Anyone? I'm having the same problem with my 3120.
Would love to get it working.

I've installed all the drivers in Windows XP, but it tells me there is no phone connected.
And yeah, the GUI colours are messed up for me too.
