Hello,

I just purchased the ancient Samsung i300. It comes with a serial port on the cradle, but I use an imac? Does anyone make an adaptor to go on the serial end and turn it into a usb? I know I would not see the benefit of faster data transfer, but I am just wanting to sync my ical and address book. Thanks!!

Keyspan manufactures this one (http://keyspan.com:16080/products/usb/usa28x/).
Belkin (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Product_Id=20940) has these options.


But they won't increase speed, as the cradle is a serial device.

Has anyone tried the belkin? I found one on line, and it was pretty cheap. Also, does anyone here have the i300? If so, does it work with isync? Tks.

I have used a number of Belking products, but not this one (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Product_Id=102007). Sorry about the dead link above. I think that they are a little pricy for what they do.
