I bought a Samsung E2550 (Black Monte Slider) recently also a data cable for it too.What I want to know is: Will the cable phone connected to a PC be sufficient to transfer files etc or do I need to install a driver for the Data cable too?
What you need to do (this is easy) is get an sd or micro SD card for the phone, insert that into the slot, and then connect the usb cable. Even though the cable is attached to the phone, you're really syncing to the card, and you don't need a driver for that. Youy may have to then go into the phone settings and look for something like USB mass storage (the phone might offer to do this when you connect). The SD card will show up on your windows explorer as a removable drive. You can then copy to it as you would to a directory on the HD or a flash drive (explore the card first, you may need to copy to specific folders). This sounds harder than it really is - bit you'll soon find this more practical than iTunes because you're not using a specific piece of software that (among other things) limits your ability to copy FROM the device to your computer. I've been doing this for years since I got a Verizon Voyager about 2 years ago (since replaced). Doing it this way, I can watch videos, look at pictures and listen to mp3 files on my phone. Best of all, when you replace your phone, you can just take the card out and put it in your new phone - no need to copy them again.
