In my opinion the best way to transfer files is Bluetooth, because then you
can transfer images, sounds, texts and other files, install Java and Symbian
applications, backup your phone files (you cannot do this just with an MMC
reader) and synchronize your address book, calendar and to-do lists.

USB Bluetooth adapters for Mac OS X / Linux / Windows cost about 30--80
euros depending on the brand and model, and that you can use with any mobile
device that supports Bluetooth, and you don't have to switch off your phone
like you have to do when dealing with memory cards.

Nokia PC Suite for the 6600 allows all this.

As already mentioned, I'd suggest bluetooth .. your phone already has this
wireless capability, and it lets you do everything, both with PCSuite, your
bluetooth software itself (file transfer) and 3rd party apps such as MobiMB,
and LogoManager II for Symbian ..

If you have other uses for a MMC card reader, and theyr not that expensive,
then it might be a worthwhile investment, just for the extra option. Using
the MMC card to install stuff is slow tho, as you have to turn off the phone
each time you take out the MMC, then reboot it when you put it back in ..

Just so you know, the nokia 6600 can't actually have a data cable, there is
no connector port for it .. you MUST use wireless or the MMC card on this
phone .. (or IR)

Get the app called FExplorer.sis for your phone .. lets you see a LOT more
than the nokia explorer, and move them just the same .. you'd have to be
sure you got all its files, and moved them all to the MMC to make sure itd
actually run from its new home .. but its doable .. Didnt you get the option
when you installed it to install to MMC or phone? I'd suggest always
installing to the MMC ..

Also, between the websites that host litterally thousands of Symbian and
Java apps/games (search here in groups.google.com to find sites), and a
transfer method (any of the above mentioned), you dont need to pay for
either ringtones, or apps/games ..

I would suggest you use PCfilemanager. It will do everything you are
mentionning and if using bluetooth connection is quite fast. There is a demo
version available on www.epocware.com.
And I think the program will cost you less than a MMC reader (that is if you
won't use the reader for any other purpose).

Use the nokia 6600 suit software it came with and blue tooth. You can get a
blue tooth adapter now for less then £30 from some places.
