F*cking Criminal

A cable from Nokia is a device that allows you to synchronise your milbile phone to a PC and allows for the transmission of photos that you take on the mobile to your PC without having to pay fro them to be emailed from your phone to your PC.

At a Nokia dealer this item is $119
From Dick Smith Electronics, $108
Via ebay: $14 (and $10 for delivey)

Fucking Criminal for a piece of cable and two connectors that cannot be costing more than $1.50 per unit (even if you include the cd, software, packaging and distribution).

Of of course you could just transmit the images via bluetooth or ir for free like I do...

Tpo transmit via bluetooth or IR requires one of two things...a bluetooth adapter for my phone and PC, or a IR adapter for my PC.....cheaper to buy a $25 cable.

Wireless is much more fun. Especially when it's all built-in.

Wireless may well be more fun....but one must pay more than $25...and thats the real reason as to why I bought the cable.
