Hi, welcome to the forum.

Regarding your music, it's possible that only 3 purchased music will play in the 3 player, while other music has to be stored and played separately. The Orange player is like this, so while I have no experience with this 3 handset I am suggesting this as the reason.

Surely you don't need to fiddle with COM ports to get connected. Try plugging in to a different USB socket, Windows should automatically detect and reinstall the relevant drivers.

managed to get it to connect by removing the SD, here lies a new problem, i cant dlete anything from or format my mini sd card , i think it may be faulty causing the connection problems and even when i delete stuff off it it just reappears on there again

also in the sounds folder of the card theres all sorts of files that make no sense and can't be deleted

If you have a card reader it might be an idea using that to transfer files etc. Its a workaround but one which can save a lot of fiddling about!!

Hm. Perhaps it really is a faulty card. Can you get hold of another card to try in the handset so you can identify if yours is really defective?

not really used the camera yet but from what i can see the pics a very good, the music side is excellent(the sd card makes all the difference) , have 80 songs on it and it about 25% full...really great playback via the heaphoes(with built in controls)provided
