After reading the mixed reviews regarding the 4.0 Motorola Phone Tools I was extremely skeptical. True it was conveniently lower in price than the one at Motorola (they want to charge you $39.99 for something I paid like $4 for), but since the functions were not made clear I wasn't sure if I would purchase(despite the deal).

You see I had just recently upgraded to the D&G Razr and didn't want to repurchase all of my ringtones, and all I wanted Phone Tools to do was create new ones for me(cheaper than the $2.49 T-Mobile is charging.

To my surprise it did that and then some. Yes, you might run into problems dealing with configuration where you have to uninstall and reinstall the program, but once you learn to hook your phone up first and then start the program that is salvaged. It also auto updates to newer versions. This product is truly a gem, and for a computer nerd like me, a huge asset.

If you have Verizon wireless, don't even bother buying this. The only feature you'd be able use is the address book function. All everything else is turned off for Verizon's phone.

5 out of 5 stars *

Used to have a V188 and had major problems trying to get the phone to sync with the PC. Works flawlessly with my Pebl using bluetooth after updating to the newest version of the software. Good price compared to getting it straight from Motorola. I love the ability to transfer photos and ringtones between PC and phone. Definate must-have accessory for (compatible) Moto phones

* Ignore the 2/5 star rating. I originally reviewed this before I bought my Pebl. Amazon doesn't appear to let you edit the rating when you edit your review...seems like that would have been one of the reasons for the whole 'edit' feature in the first place, right?

When my husband's RAZR phone broke we thought we had lost all the pictures on it. Even at our cell phone company's store it sounded like getting pictures off of a phone with a broken screen would be very difficult. I finally called Motorola and they recommended this product (although they would've had me buy it new and pay a lot more). I bought it here instead and was able to very easily get all the pictures, videos, and contacts off of a broken phone. This is a wonderful product. It's great for anyone who has a Motorola phone. You can also transfer pictures and songs onto your phone using it although I didn't try that out since the phone was broken. This product allowed me to save 30 to 40 pictures of my kids and my littlest one was a newborn in many of them. I would recommend it to anyone. It saved me.

Well, it can be a real pain to get the software to recognize the phone. I'm pretty computer-savvy, and it took a while (and some googling) to figure out that I had to cancel the setup wizard before it actually tried to detect my phone and run the Live Update... then connect my phone (a v188). I then found, on the "bonus cd," some sort of software installer specifically for the v188 that probably would have solved everything in the first place. Typical.

Once it's running, life couldn't be easier. The interface is extremely simple and intuitive, and the bonus cd I got with it is PACKED with ring tones, games, thousands (literally) of wallpapers, etc. I'm impressed.

So I docked it one star for motorola not having a seamless install by v3.x and really, really wanted to subtract another for the insult of the cable and software not coming with the phone in the first place. Should you need me, I'll be playing with my phone for the next week or two...

Excellent software. It's as easy as put the disc into the computer, then transfer images from phone to computer. All I need now is a better picture phone so my pics are clearer. A must buy tool for motorola phones.

Seller is not responsible for the product. The ad said brand new but came with used (like it was returned since it is not working). I tried it with another phone that it on the support phone list but still not working. Don't waste your money. Definitely NOT work on KRZR with Cingular.

i needed to get some of my info off my phone, but didn't want to pay 50-60 bucks for two cords (one which i would never use) and the program. This is the full version that is just alittle outdated and you just download the update and your are up to date. Works great.

it had worked perfectly with my phone!! NOW i can change/add any type of ringtone that i want to my phone!! and it had arrived in a few dayz!! thank you!! =D

I can do all sorts of cool stuff with my Phone>PC connection now. And, this was the best deal out there!!
