I assume the connection is USB based on your description. It doesn't matter which one you plug it into.

If it's a USB, it should work in any of the ports that you plug it into (Given that the plug-in fits into the port). What kind of error is it giving you, and when?

That's a nice phone though. What kind is it? How much?

I recall it uses a serial connection for the upload / download manager.

If you have a serial mouse:
Select a differnt port other than Com1

If not try com 1

If the connection fails - reboot the computer with the data cable pluged in and try again.
