1.0 out of 5 stars Neat idea - poorly executed, October 16, 2003
This review is from: DATAPILOT CELL PHONE DATA TRANSFER SUITE - MOTOROLA (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I purchased this product instead of the Motorola datacable because of the many neat features promised. The software provides a way to save your phone directory to the PC, edit ring tones, among other features.

However, the product is so buggy and poorly realized that it is unfortunately as waste of time and money. I tried installing the product on 2 machines, one with Windows 2k and one with Windows XP, and neither was able to communicate with the phone. In addition I had to download additional drivers and software just to get the program to install.

The instructions to install the drivers are lacking in detail, and fail to deal with the common error messages you may recieve. Lastly, the USB driver is not really USB at all, but emulates a serial port and uses one of the COM port resources.

The program has other quirks, like the inability to save the phone configuration unless the program can communicate with the phone, and some menu items that simply do not work. For example, pressing the "home" menu brought up a message that was simply "()"

Tech support is about on par with most companies these days - which means not very good. Expect to get lots of emails that simply tell you to reinstall the drivers.

All in all, this is a poorly executed product. Save your money and frustration and look elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst product I've seen in a while, June 22, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: DATAPILOT CELL PHONE DATA TRANSFER SUITE - MOTOROLA (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This is one of the worst products I've purchased in a long time. I wasted hours (along with several other engineers in our IT dept) trying to get this to work with my Motorola 720.

We downloaded the latest USB drivers, the latest version of Datapilot, installed it on 4 different machines running three different operating systems (98,2000,XP) but were never able to get it to consistently recognize the phone and sync. The support docs at their site are little to no help. "Download the latest drivers" is about all they recommend.

It seems the USB drivers attempt to emulate a serial port on the PC (I guess so they wouldn't have to actually update the datapilot software????). This is a very flaky solution. The whole purpose, for most people, of buying a USB connected device is to avoid the hassle of working with serial ports. So now, in addition to getting the right USB drivers installed, you have make sure your system has resources available for the emulated serial port. What's the point? I say If your not going to do USB the right way, don't do it at all.

Even when we got the cable working and were able to transfer data to the phone (at the painfully slow 9600kbps that their emulated port defaults to) it only lasted till the next reboot.

All of the conflicts reappeared when the machine came back up and Datapilot could no longer find the phone.

Save your time and money. This is alpha quality code and they should apologize for unleashing it on their customers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Fully Realized, June 12, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: DATAPILOT CELL PHONE DATA TRANSFER SUITE - MOTOROLA (Wireless Phone Accessory)
With just a little assistance from the help file and User Guide I was able to identify my phone (Motorola t720,) import my contacts from Outlook 2002 and transfer to my phone. Although seemingly successful, there were limitations. The transfer wiped out the phonebook on my SIM card but it didn't place any contacts there. The help file gives loose instructions to direct a contact from the DataPilot's phonebook manager on the PC to the SIM phonebook. I was unable to get this feature to work; the DataPilot's phonebook manager inevitably converted my changes and placed those contacts in the phone memory. The phonebook in the phone can store multiple numbers for a contact but the software's phonebook manager does not transfer more than one phone number per contact; though it will import up to 6 numbers from Outlook?

The calendar transfer was more successful. I was pleased with that function.

I'll investigate Motorola's pricier option... If they provide the functionality I'm looking for, I'll go for it.
