Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver for Nokia
Asha/S40 phones – Connect your PC to the internet using your mobile phone
With Nokia
Connectivity Cable Driver, you can connect your mobile phone to your PC with a
compatible USB cable, and use the phone as a modem.
From 2013, the new
Nokia Asha/S40 phones do not support Nokia Suite or PC suite. Instead, they use
the Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver.
Using services or
downloading content may cause the transfer of large amounts of data, which may
result in data costs if your service provider charges for the data
transmission.
Nokia PC Suite is a software package used to
establish an interface between Nokia mobile devices and computers
that run Microsoft
Windows operating
system. It has been replaced by Nokia
Suite.
t can be used to transfer music, photos and applications. It
can also be used to send Short Message Service (SMS) messages or act as a
modem to connect the computer to the Internet. A
mobile phone can be connected by USB, Bluetooth, or infrared. Nokia PC Suite is closed-source software and is required
to access certain aspects of Nokia handsets.
While Nokia PC Suite is still being updated, it is slated to
be replaced by Nokia's next generation phone suite software, Nokia
Suite, which will support other platforms in addition to Windows.Nokia
Suite drops
the Lotus Notes client sync support which is present in Nokia PC Suite, instead
requiring the user to use Lotus Notes Traveler software which must be installed
and maintained on the Lotus Notes server- that is, synchronisation using PC
Suite works from the phone to the user's PC, synchronisation on a phone which
has Nokia Suite must use third party software (such as Lotus Notes Traveler
which works from the phone to the server).
Support for old phones is removed occasionally from the
program. The latest release stands for the latest general release. The official site supplies a
table that matches each phone model
with the latest release that supported it (up to and including the latest
general release).
The following applications and features are
included into the latest version of Nokia PC Suite:
·
Nokia Communication Centre for controlling contacts, contact
groups, messages and a full calendar (v7.1+).

The backup functionality uses a non-documented binary file
format (.nbu), which can only be used to restore to a phone. This means that
the data can only be accessed by doing a restore to a working phone.
Third-party programs (either commercial or free) can be used to read the file,
but they greatly vary in the amount of information they can retrieve.
Nokia PC Suite can not add or update maps and voices
for the Nokia Maps application. This requires Nokia Map Loader or Nokia
Suite, which both require Microsoft Windows with
Microsoft .NET framework installed. However, it is possible to download maps
for Nokia Maps without need for Nokia Map Loader or Nokia Suite by pointing a
web browser directly to
the map files on Nokia's Maps server
