Strictly Fun Dancing with the Falcom Samba 55

Is it just me or does everyone find the Falcom Samba 55 GSM Modem a real pain to set up? Loading the driver is OK, but trying to get the Mobile Phone Tools to install is a struggle.

I tried following the instructions on the CD to load the BVRP Phonetools, it seemed to an obvious place to start! but as George Bush said after the mid term elections, “Shows what I know!“.

I clicked on software when the CD opened up, then on BVRP mobilePhoneTools setup.exe and it appeared to install OK. When I clicked on Install.exe all I got was an error message, Run-time error ’76’ Path not found.

In fact I had to open the CD and click through software\win32.BVRP_SAMBA\Install.exe. Then plug the Samba 55 into a USB port (it’s a good idea to have SIM in it) and then everything works. At this point I even started to read the installation guide, but the software detected the phone and did all the rest itself.

You’ll get the image of a phone on your screen and then you are ready to go.
