Perhaps there is a program running at COM1, stop programs like this Oxygen Phone Manager, and try again.

HI,
I had an experienced in interfacing programming in Win2k via serial (COM1, COM2 etc.) and parallel port. Unfortunately Id end up using a diffrent OS Such as Win98 SE as the most stable environment when interfacing programming is concerned. Simple reason is that DOS in Win 2K is not designed to do such purpose but DOS 6.2 or previous version uses by Win98 and below is definitely designed for interface programming. I would not explained details but thats the general idea. I could recommend if you can partitioned your hddisk drive and try installing win98 SE so you can try your programming with that environment. Also may I asked what cable model are you using with your 6210? if your using the MBUS model, you have to do your programming in more complexity as to read hex to translate data for sending and receiving SMS. Its more easy if you're using models which enables your phone to act as a modem such as the DLR-3 model for 7110 or try to verify with nokia care if 6210 is compatible with DLR-3 data cable, so you can do you programming using AT commands(much simplier)

I have faced with the same problem before. If you work with another mobile phone other than Nokia, you can connect directly to your phone by using HyperTerminal via COMx, but with Nokia phone, you have to get the driver for it (Nokia Data Suite). After installing driver for Nokia phone, it will create a virtual (software) COM port on an existing physical COM port. For example, if your PC has COM1 and COM2, the driver software will create COM3 based on COM1. Now to work with your phone, connect your phone to COM1 (physical), but you have to select COM3 (virtual) in the HyperTerminal. I have driver for Nokia 51xx, 61xx and 7110, but dont have for 6210. If you need it, plz feel free to contact me (vndnguyen@hopthu.com)
