I have the Razr v3. I wanted to backup and edit phone numbers primarily. Being able swap music and picture files is a bonus. Charging the phone via USB is a bonus. The Date book functionality on the phone is weak so I am unable to use this part of the software utility to its fullest.

Word of advice...Motorola Phone Tools 4.0 Software will call out for a software update for the computer......BUT it will not update the driver on the phone. You must right click the phone Icon (while the phone is pluged into the USB port) and do this yourself.

The Motorola Phone Tools 4.0 software worked perfectly with my RAZR V3 phone. It quickly installed and updated and walked through driver installation on XP. Once the phone was connected it performed all functions without any problems. The software also remembers several profiles which is handy since we have multiple phones for the family. Finally, the software uses standard cables to interface to the phone unlike some products that require a special cable keyed to the software.

This product (version 4.0) works with my V3 and V3x. It does NOT work with my new V3e.

I am using the overpriced Version 4.0 disc purchased directly from Motorola.

Software updates still do not recognized the V3e. Not sure which models listed work and which don't, but the fact that non-supported models seem to be listed is sufficient to be skeptical and go elsewhere. Yeah, and it's a penny, PLUS a lot in shipping!

So, if the software works for you, it is pretty nice. If not, you're out. I gave a review of one star based on the fact that a model I KNOW doesn't work is in the supported list.

I would give this a 5-star rating, but I had a little trouble installing the software.

Now that it's on my computer, it's great and easy to use. It's easy to create your own ringtones and upload them to the phone. You can either use mp3 files that are on your computer, or grab a song from your favorite CD. Then slice and dice it, fade in and out, and yeah ... a new ringtone!

This is also great for transfering photos to and from your phone. You can't go wrong with the price :)

It all started out when I tried to load a picture I had taken with my Motorola Razr into my computer and it didn't work. I did some research and everything pointed to obtaining the Motorola Phone Tools 4.0 Software.

I got the software through Amazon for about $5 total ($1.96 plus shipping) and it arrived within the week. It installed very easy and what started out as just downloading that picture into my computer turned out to be much much more. I found that I can load any picture as well as sound clip into my phone to use as a different ring tone for everyone in my address book. Also, the software allows you to take any sound clip (from a song or movie or where ever) and edit it to exactly where you want it to start and end.

With this software it "improves the heck out of what you can do with your phone!!!"

I wish that I had done some homework before purchasing. I received exactly what the listing said, but when I installed it, learned that the version of the software required for my brand-new RAZR was 4.21. I had a lot of trouble updating the software from the website. This would probably work fine with an older model RAZR, but I ended up tossing the program out of frustration. I'll next look for the most current version of the software. All of this was my ignorance and not the fault of the manufacturer or the seller.

I know you've heard it before, but this really is a great deal. My new Razor V3xxx is a terrific phone but is doesn't really reach it's potential until you connect it to your computer. The software and cable allow you to take control of your phone and use it the way you want. Why pay for ringtones and wallpapers when you can select your own. This saves you money right there. Installation of the software is easy but remember not to install the cable until it specifically instructs you to do so.
The only criticism is why wasn't this included with the phone. We know the answer. If there is anyway for the big companies to make extra money with an accessory or aftermarket item it will happen.
Overall, great buy!

I purchased the Motorola Phone tools and cable to unlock my phone using a free downloaded program. I did this successfully, and am now able to use my Razr with any wireless service around the world. I also use the product to swap photos and keep my phone book up to date.

All I wanted to do with my phone was retrieve the photos I had taken. I didn't want to spend $50 for the software from Motorola just to do that. So when I found this on Amazon I had to purchase it. It works fine on Windows 7 64bit so there is no reason for the upgraded version that motorola has out.

I wish i had known this before buying this software. Apparently Verizon has their own software and only they can give you software to sync your phone to your computer. It took a call to Motorola for me to figure out the problem. I have a RAZR v3m.
