Hi I had already a go with it at office and the data cable is really Rs.1200. Considering the cost of the phone to be Rs. 3000 it is really costly. You will get a driver CD with a software.
However connectivity is totally bad. I could connect to the network, however transfer was as bad as anything. Not a recommendable performance at all.
