Nokia E71 / E71x
Some questions about the E71
-I currently have a Treo 650 and recently got a new laptop with Vista 64 operating system and I found out that my Treo will not sync with it.
-Will the E71 sync with Vista64?

All my thoughts below are about my unbranded unlocked Nokia E71 I bought via Newegg.
There is the Nokia PC Suite of programs and according to the PDF manual it should work fine with vista 64bit version.
As far as syncing it says:

-How can this phone be used as a modem for a laptop?
Normally I have no pity for anyone who buys Vista on a piece of hardware, but the E71 is such a great phone I'll make an exception. There are two options that I know of.

I just got the E71x a week ago, abd I haven't had any luck getting it to work with 64-bit Vista. Unfortunately it's all I run so I've been a bit SOL until they can come up with a solution. I have more details on what I've tried to fix here:
