[edit] Connecting & Controlling the N80 to a PC computer

To connect to and control the Nokia N80 functions from a desktop computer you must install the Nokia PC Suite on each computer you plan to connect the N80 to. You can both connect a Nokia N80 to multiple computers at different times and connect multiple Nokia N80s to a single computer. You just have to make sure that any computer you plan to use for such purposes has the Nokia PC Suite software install.

There are three ways you can connect the device to your computer:
