ditto (mine an upgrade for cdma, that is). Not sure I understand you:
were you wanting connectivity to load mp3 onto the phone? If that's so
then I know from past experience that it's a snap to load onto the
memory card first using an adapter/card reader and then plug the card
into the device. This side-steps the whole device connectivity issue. if
I'm misunderstanding you, you'll need to go into more specifics.
