Dear All,
Having used mobile telephones from many years I am well familiar with their more conventional use. However, I now have an urgent need to connect a mobile phone (preferably a Nokia) to my Windows PC to use it interactively with Outlook 2007.
Basically, I want to be able to use the auto dialler function available within Outlook to call my contacts (most of whom use mobile telephones), and to do so with my mobile connected and running through the Nokia PC Suite. This function is readily available when auto dialling landline numbers but I am completely lost as to what I need to do to set up this facility with a mobile phone.
I currently have a NOKIA Model 2630 but from what I have already read on the discussion forums, this particular telephone is likely to be a waste of time and it's unlikely to support my requirements.
I am resigned therefore to simply throw away this particular low-end telephone and replace it with one more readily suited for the job at hand.
I'm sorry to be so long winded but I have spent several hours wading through all of the support discussions on this topic and now find myself totally confused and at a complete loss as to where to go and what to do.
Is there anybody out there who can help me with the following:
1. Recommend a suitable Nokia telephone particularly suited to interacting with Outlook 2007 that would enable to simply click on my chosen contact's autodial button and initiate the telephone call out through my mobile.
2. I already do this with relative ease on landline numbers but I have got completely lost in the maze of confusion over this subject so far as mobile phones are concerned.
.
3. I can see already set the mobile phone I currently have simply will not do the job and I would appreciate any help from anyone who may have already achieved this objective and who could advise me as to which would be the best NOKIA mobile telephone for me to go out and buy for this particular job.
4. Finally any general hints, tips or information would also be greatly appreciated as well as any links or pointers to other sources of information I can look at.
This is my first departure into this kind of mobile telephone tech-support and so I really am groping around in the dark at the moment.
Any info or pointers would be an enormous help.
All the best

Your best choice would be a phone from the E series, like the E71. I use this phone and it connects through Outlook.
Connect the phone with the USB cable whitch is included with the E71 to Nokia PCSuite. Open contacts in Outlook and rightclick a contact. In the menu choose: call contact-> dialling options-> connect using line-> Nokia E71 USB modem-> ok, close the window and start call. If you prefer Bluetooth, choose the right modem in the settings. Now, go to the store and get youself one of these beauties.
