Information on how to connect a Symbian phone to a PC is one of our most common questions. There can be a number of options (such as Bluetooth, USB or infrared), depending on what your handset supports, and what’s available for your PC.
As it’s one of our top topics, we’ve set up a dedicated page – See our
Series 60 PC FAQ

Rather than the software that came as standard with the phone, there’s a rather useful third-party application called Oxygen II– This application supports Contacts, Calendar, Messaging and file management.

Hotmail and AOL use proprietary email systems,
as opposed to the more common POP email systems – this makes it tricky to access mail on a Series 60 device. For email on the move,
consider using a standard POP3 provider such as BT Yahoo (see setup details) that offers free email accounts that can be configured on a Series 60 phone.

If you really want to use Hotmail or AOL, see our Series 60
FAQ on this subject.
