4.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone Tool, April 6, 2006

This review is from: MOTOROLA Mobile Office Tools for Motorola RAZR V3 Cellular Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I bought this instead of choosing to download multiple Ringtones online. This cost me less than $20 in total, and provided features I would have to pay a lot of money for if I tried to get the same results using the usual means (aka V-Cast and other Ringtone providers)

I edit my mp3 into clips and save the clips onto my phone, all with this marvelous product. Not only does it make it a great phone tool, but you can edit your mp3 and save a new file with your changes. (You can save the editted file in several formats, such as .wav and .mp3)

Other features include transferring wallpapers from your PC to your motorola phone.

I have a Sony VAIO with Windows XP and a Motorola V3 Rzr and the product runs fine. There is a notable flaw, which is that sometimes the multimedia studio will not run. Reinstalling the program has fixed this issue when it arises. (Hence the 4 stars)

Another handy feature is that it charges your phone while it is connected. I just leave my phone hooked into the computer when I am not using it and am at home.

This is some of the worst junk, passing itself off as software, that I have ever used.

I use Outlook and a Palm Pilot. This software wrecked my contacts in Outlook and my Palm Pilot. It overwrote entries where I had complete information like street addresses and notes and replaced it with just the unformatted phone number. If I had more than one phone number for a person on my phone, I got more than one contact entry. The ones it did not overwrite, it deleted outright. It messes up names and forces you to store names in a weird way. After the first sync I was left with an Outlook Contacts folder that looked exactly like me phone. On the second sync, many of the entries were duplicated in Outlook. And this was with the default settings! (Fortunately I exported my contacts immediately before I synched and was able to recover.)

As for the Calendar, whatever you do, DO NOT USE IT! Like the address book, it either deleted or duplicated entries 2, 3, 4 or more times after just one sync. It does not seem to know what to do with recurring appointments, at least if you have something scheduled in an unusual way like once a week on Wednesday or something equally unheard of.

Scattered throughout the program are pictures of rudely or scantily dressed teenagers. There is no way to get rid of them. All of the "please wait" screens have them. These images are perfect if you have a co-worker who is looking to win the sexual harassment lawsuit lottery. Perfect for your co-worker that is. Very professional.

On the positive side, you can charge your phone while it is connected to your computer. Fortunately, you do not need to install the software to do that.

The really sad thing is there is nothing else out there that I am aware of. The promise of USB connectivity is not realized with this application. That is the only reason I gave it two stars, otherwise, it would deserve 1/2 star.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purchased for the software, very satisified, June 5, 2006

This review is from: MOTOROLA Mobile Office Tools for Motorola RAZR V3 Cellular Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)

We purchased this product for the software. It is much easier to update the address book using the laptop than by using the little bitty phone keys on our RAVR phones.

The software was simple to install, and is very intuitive to use. I find it much easier to use the computer and this software to make changes to the phone than using the phone. Also, by having this software you can upload your SIM card memory to your computer and then download it to another phone if you are upgrading.

If you are looking for a product that connects your Motorola phone to your computer to facilitate updating your phone this is nice product to have at your disposal.
