they don't tell you this,
This review is from: Susteen Datapilot LG Kit 3200/7000 USB (CD-ROM)
I purchased the sofware and cable for my LG600. I passed up the verizon version because Susteen';s supposidly allowed you to edit ringtones and images. It does not do that very well. I purchased it so I would not have to reenter 250 contacts into my phone and could back it up incase of phone loss or falure. We after almost a year of dealing with Datapilots tech support, on my own I found that if you had Verizon move your contacts from one phone to another, Datapilot will not be able to transfer. the program will crash after just a few entries. I now have to spend another $80 to buy Verizons version and have only contact capability. DO NOT BUY ANY PRODUCT FROM SUSTEEN. THEY DON'T TELL YO EVERYTHING.

Moves Data to/from PC But Does Not Synch Data,
By
This review is from: Susteen Datapilot LG Kit 3200/7000 USB (CD-ROM)
Backs up data from Phone to PC just fine (LG VX4650). Does not *Synch* Phone to PC, or PC to Phone. Simply overwrites one with the other.
It will only upload the entire contents of the phone contact list (takes about 7 minutes for 434 numbers). It will not upload only changes. Same for downloads to the phone; All or nothing. This also means it is nearly useless for editing contacts on the PC. Takes too long to upload entire database, change one or more items, then download entire database again. There is a "merge" feature, but only for two or more databases of numbers in DataPilot's PC database. DataPilot will import numbers from Outlook, but marks each one with a comment "Outlook Contact." The comment then gets downloaded with the number to the phone so that every number has the same comment. Stupid waste of phone memory.

Works Pretty Well With LG VX9800,
This review is from: Susteen Datapilot LG Kit 3200/7000 USB (CD-ROM)
I had purchased this software when I had a Motorola E815. However, since I had a bluetooth adaptor, I didn't need to spend any additional money to use this when I swapped my E815 for an LG VX9800. After I paired my phone with my laptop, I just went in to the settings and changed things over to the bluetooth com port. So, as long as your phone is supported, any bluetooth phone you buy will work with this software. DataPilot supports a wide range of phones from a wide range of carriers. Don't underestimate the importance of this. If I had bought Motoroal Phone Tools, I'd be stuck looking for something that worked with LG phones.
Even though I had the techs at the Verizon store transfer my contacts, I was able to back them up on my laptop in DataPilot with no problem. Since the phonebook on the 9800 supports multiple numbers per contact, they show up this way in DataPilot as well. You can also import contacts from a palm device as long as the palm software is installed on the same machine. One thing to note though is that this software does not do true syncing. You either write to the phone or the PC, and the source data overwrites the destination. Then came calendar functions. The lack of true syncing is really a pain here. I import from Outlook on a daily basis. However, appointments deleted from Outlook are not deleted from he calendar in data pilot. The workaround for this is to delete the data in data pilot then reimport from scratch. This mimics what data pilot does with the phone. This is klunky, but once you figure it out, it works ok. Then, I messed around with ringtones. I have been able to download midi files to my laptop, and then open them in the midi editor. Once there, I can transfer them to my phone - contrary to what Verizon would have you believe. Midi tones are not great, but you should be able to find something better than the tones they give you. Oh, if you should like some of the factory set "my sounds" as ringtones, you can read them from the phone and send them back to the phone as ringtones. The only other feature that is supported on my phone is picture/video transfer from phone to PC. I don't use my camera much, but I took a test picture to see how well it worked. When I tried to tranfer the picture to the PC, data pilot crashed. This is not important to me, but it is worth noting if it is important to you. I haven't tried to use DUN so I don't know if this works or not. It is not supposed to be supported, but it might work. Overall it's a decent product, and once you know the workarounds it is functional.
