Pro: So simple anyone can use it; interfaces flawlessly with LG VX3300; keep a backup of your contacts in a safe place; a family with several mobiles can clone their contacts.

Con: Included software has no import for Palm, Outlook, etc; user interface has a somewhat odd look-and-feel

It's possible to open your contacts and copy-n-paste Name, Number, etc. into the included software but it's tedious. Really needs an import. Much easier than entering contacts directly into the mobile, though.

could not download my numbers to the device and tech support was not helpful. I have an LG phone.

Sure it works as designed. Intended to backup your contacts on your phone. Although I had the understanding that I could copy the contacts to my computer and/or import them into Outlook. As far as I can see (correct me if I'm wrong) all I can do is edit and create contacts stored on the cellstick from my computer. I don't see a way to export them to any importable format for my computer. Or copy contacts from Outlook onto the cellstick for transfer to my phone. Not a big deal though, obviously if I need the cellstick to begin with that just means I didn't invest much in my phone in the beginning. I'm learning I just need a new phone.

Pro: Very easy to use.

Con: For 40 bucks, why didn't they just make it at least a 128 Meg flash drive? It's 128 Kbytes? C'mon! I buy 1 Meg flash drives for 20 bucks.

Con: The first time you upload to a LG 4650, it WILL screw up your groups. It over-wrote my custom entered groups and added a bunch of groups in Spanish, of all things. It does not support the 4650 correctly, in other words.

Con: As others have noted, no import/export. I kludged an import using excel to edit the .dat file, which is standard CSV format. I bought it for 40 bucks and sold it for 10 to a friend with the same phone as me - after giving him a few warnings.

Works as advertised..It is unclear if you must purchase another one if you get a differant cell phone or can you upgrade for additional compatibility.
