This software is complete waste of money. It is slow, the fields don't sync properly, it doesn't connect with the phone most of the time, the calendar doesn't work - the list goes on. There is other PC sync software that does the trick for fraction of the price. If you are a Mac OS X user, you are in luck - Apple's active sync allows you to choose your phone model, and syncs the phone fields beautifully for free! At the end I even got rid of my Motorola and switched back to Nokia - their FREE PC Suite software gives complete PDA functionality to any Nokia phone. Shame on Motorola's software developers!

I have a Razr V3M which is the Verizon Razr, the software will not configure for this phone. I tried the generic V3 drivers and it just hangs. I'm a technical person, I know how to install and configure software, I just can't make this work at all.

Like Apple, Motorola are now relegated to the bottom rungs of commercial extortion for forcing extra bucks out of your wallet for items that should be packaged with the goods when you buy them (or free for download), i.e. - all new Motorola phones should have been packaged with the FULL VERSION of Motorola Phonetools software and not the *lite version. So although you have heard about the PC software that comes free with some Motorola cell phones, what they don't tell you is that you only get the *lite version free which doesn't allow any syncing with Microsoft software and with limitations on SMS text word counts and other impaired functions that cost you an extra $30 (not $40+ like here on Amazon, do a search for the free online download unless you absolutely need the USB to cell phone connection if it didn't come with your new Motorola phone... sigh... but they should have at least given you that, or check to see if your phone has Bluetooth technology, and if so then just get a Bluetooth USB connection and use your wireless Bluetooth phone to Bluetooth USB to hook up to the software). So apart from allowing you to now do the things that you should have been able to do from day #1 it doesn't really do much else. However the Bluetooth USB setup doesn't always work right and I have found that not all cell phone work with this software yet either, so it is a bit of a buggy program. To be honest it is certainly not worth the money unless you really want to send long SMSs and sync with your MS Outlook, and it solves both these problems (that their own company created so that you would have to buy this). Basically there is no reason to be charging this much extra for such a bad piece of software that just allows for unlimited SMSs and syncing with Outlook. It doesn't work with all Motorola phones either, has a buggy Bluetooth and even USB setup and is not worth the money by a long shot. However if you need to have longer SMSs and need to sync, as I did, then you will forced to shove more cash into the hands of Motorola for this... and you should have had it from day#1.

BAH!

If you are verizon customer, don't buy this software. I bought one to transfer multimedia files between my cell phone and computer. I found that Verizon has disabled such function after installation. I haven't heard anything about it either from Motorola or Verizon. Very disappointing experience...
So let me repeat.
If you are verizon customer, don't buy this software

I am a cingular customer and I like this product. It is great for transfering pictures from the phone to the computer and vice versa. I've had no problems yet.

I purchased the V3 software, not being really sure if I needed the V3 or the V4 that seemed to cost more money. The reality is that the V3 software will upgrade itself to V4. Once the software is installed and you have connected your phone once, simply disconnect the phone and then look for the option for on-line updates, several megabytes later and you have the latest software.

The software does the job and I use it regularly for entering new numbers and backing up my contacts.

I love this product however it worked only for my one Razor phone on one computer and not for my wife's Razor on the other computer. Not sure why it isn't working either. Otherwise, nice product.

This tool is quite handy for using on a Motorola phone. I recomend geeting a higher version such as Motorola 4.0.
3.0 can be upgraded with it's web site but the 4.0 has both cables for greater access of Motorola phones.
Make sure to load up all the software updates from their website after installing the program.

This is the disc and cable that came with the phone originally. Works and does what it is supposed to do.

The Motorolla Mobile Phone Tools 4.0 was just a mess for me..it simply just did not work with my Win98SE OS..but this "3.0" worked just absolutely great!!!..I have a camera phone and that's what I really need it for so I can get my pixs to my PC...LOVE IT!!!
