Hey I have a UK N900 and have tried connecting it to the computer however it is not found and even PC Suite doesnt finds it . The weird thing is that the phone asks do i want Mass Storage or PC Suite and then come up with saying connected in which ever one i choose but still not found on the computer. I have tried on Windows 7 and Vista.


PLEASE HELP!!!!! ITS DRIVING ME MAD!!!!

I am in the US running xp03 and had to download the pc suite 7.1 from the europe site for it to work and it finally found the device but still has some issues on outlook but you are able to transfer various files. Dont know if this will help. Good luck. Hopefully they will have a few fixes in their firmware updates....

I had this problem initially on XP. Turned out I was not waiting long enough for the driver to initialize. Once I did that, it connected fine every time afterward.

Try this: reboot your device and your PC. Connect USB cable to PC first, then to N900. Select mass storage, and then let the device sit a while. I found that I kept trying to use mine too soon and that was screwing things up.

The problem appears to be on the Windows side. As an aside, I think Microsoft's handling of USB devices can be asinine. Most of mine are recognized as new devices every single time I plug them in. IMO Windows should set them up ONCE, save the config and then Just Work every time after that.

That's about what happened to me. I opened the 'loading device drivers' window, and it took so long I thought it was goofed. Got there eventually: I now have it running on both XP and vista. Make sure you have the most up to date pc suite, too as it includes the drivers.
