Connecting your phone to a computer

Connect your phone to a computer and start transferring pictures, music and other file types. The easiest ways to connect are using a USB cable or Bluetooth wireless technology.

When you connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable, you are prompted to install the PC Companion application on your computer. PC Companion helps you access additional computer applications to transfer and organise media files, update your phone, synchronise phone content, and more.

You might not be able to transfer some copyright-protected material between your phone and computer.

Transferring and handling content using a USB cable

Use a USB cable connection between a computer and your phone for easy transfer and management of your files. Once the two devices are connected, you can drag and drop content between them using the computer's file explorer. If you're transferring music, video, pictures or other media files to your phone, it's best to use the Media Go™ application on your computer. Media Go™ converts media files so that you can use them on your phone.

Media Go™ converts media files so that you can use them on your phone.

In order to use this feature, you need a Wi-Fi®enabled device that supports Media transfer, for example, a computer running Microsoft® Windows Vista® or Windows® 7.
