Nokia as most other mobile phone companies allow the phone to be connected using your PC's serial port.

That's how I connect my 6210. It indeed allows you to send messages, manage your address book and the like. I'm not completely sure about ringtones as I hate the damn things so I've never looked in to them.
The same goes for screensavers (mine doesn't support them I think)

The connection cord and software is available from the Nokia brand (just ask your local retailer), but at least around here there are also generic cords/software.

Another option is IR (InfraRed) but its no favorite of mine... too many drawbacks.

Anyhow, good luck and let us know your progress!

EDIT: someone should invent a language without spelling issues... /sigh/
