5 Star Review Mobile Phone Tools 4.0

Strengths:

Ability to download/upload items such as pictures, phone book, ringtones, mp3's, etc... is a bonus in its own. Secondly you can back up your own phone as most providers charge you to back up.

Weaknesses:

I do not really see a weakness. It is a great product if you have the need to transfer information and pictures from your phone.

Posted May 18, 2006 - The mobile phone tools is a great investment to those who utilize their phone to the fullest. Instead of having to text your pictures to your PC and pay the picture messaging fee or to just back up your phone book, the tool pays for itself. I have used this product at work and now am purchasing it for myself.

5 Star Review Excellent support for my cell phone

Strengths:

Works seamlessly with my Motorola Razr

Weaknesses:

None noted so far

Posted Jun 9, 2006 - This was an excellent purchase. The vendor's performance was timely, the product exactly as shown and the price of $19.95 (no shipping or taxes) was significantly below the Motorola price of $49.95. The program's performance has been flawless thus far and it probably has other capabilities that I have yet to discover. My purpose of buying it was to streamline the inputting of phone numbers and calendar events. This, the program, does well. I am well pleased and would buy it again from the same vendor.

5 Star Review this seller is great

Strengths:

very easy to use, saves me a lot of money on ringtones and allows me to down/upoad all photos and music files

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Jun 29, 2006 - Very good seller. Fast shipment, more than I expected. Highly recommend. This product is wonderful. I have so much flexibility with what I want on my phone, from ringtones to pictures. I wish Motorola would offer as a free download like Nokia, but I saved about 30 bucks with this seller.

5 Star Review Great product!

Strengths:

Product does what I thought it would! Went to Best Buy to purchase same product and they wanted quadruple the price.

Weaknesses:

N/A

Posted Nov 16, 2006 - I highly recommend this product. If you purchase at any well known stores you are going to pay a whole lot more. I have a different phone then what the product was intended for, but it works great with my phone and installation was a breeze

5 Star Review Mobile Phone Tools 4.0. Why pay $45 at store for the same thing?

Cable and software!

Weaknesses:

Strengths:

Never have to buy pictures or ringtones again. Organize & synch your phonebook from your computer.

Weaknesses:

States that it may not work with Verizon phones (Verizon has disabled some of the audio & video features; this is not Motorola's fault).

Posted May 19, 2007 - The software is very easy to use & has a built-in tutorial the first time you use each feature. Extremely easy to create & preview ringtones & pictures that you've created.

4 Star Review good product

Strengths:

easy to use

Weaknesses:

no instructions. have to delete and reinstall after every use.

Posted Jan 14, 2007 - The product worked very well. Problems with cable connections and having to delete and reinstall to use because it does not recognize modem or cannot find phone. The transfers are quick and easy once you understand what you are doing. Have and would recommend it to others.

4 Star Review Mobile Phone Tools 4.0: Great Product, But VERIZON CUSTOMERS BEWARE!

Strengths:

Easy installation and setup. Makes it a snap to import/export address and calendar data and to back up phone data.

Weaknesses:

None, unless you are a Verizon customer. Verizon has disabled all their phones' multimedia file transfer capabilities.

Posted Jun 7, 2006 - This is a fine product. However, I was disappointed to find out that I was unable to utilize a major portion of this software's capability, the "Multimedia Studio". You see, Verizon (which is my mobile service company) has disabled multimedia file transfer for all their mobile phones. You cannot transfer pictures, videos or sounds to/from your computer with this software. This is an attempt by Verizon to force you to use (pay for) their mobile services to do so. Verizon could correct this in an instant by changing the driver software for their phones that they modified to block file transfer.

4 Star Review Nifty software...

Strengths:

allows you to use your own images & mp3 files as art/ringtones on your phone, PDA features on phone much easier to use

Weaknesses:

didn't appear to work w/ my bluetooth adapter very well

Posted Feb 6, 2007 - Works pretty darn well -- you can move your pix, songs, contacts, and calendar entries back and forth from your computer and your phone. You can even splice the songs, crop the pix, and use Motorola's built-in Outlook type interface if you don't have the programs to do that already (granted, they aren't the greatest programs in the world, but functional). Still, it'd be nice if Motorola's bluetooth driver didn't keep trying to overwrite my exisitng driver for the bluetooth adapter when I tried to connect w/ it (I finally gave up & connected via USB). Also, for what the program was, it didn't really seem like it was worth the retail price. I got it for like $10 OEM, which I thought was about the right value.

4 Star Review Mobile Phone Tools 4.0

Strengths:

Easy connection to PC via USB port Can charge phone while communicating with PC

Weaknesses:

Charger cable not easy to connect to data cable

Posted Jun 2, 2006 - This is a good product for communications between Bluetooth and non-Bluetooth activated phones and personal computers. The software that comes with the kit is easy to use, though I had to figure out for myself that I could drag and drop contacts from Outlook to my phone. I liked being able to put my cell phone on charge while transfering photos from my cell phone to my personal computer. However, I find it difficult to plug the charger cable in to the data cable so that it is actually charging - I have to push it in hard and wiggle it until it works.

4 Star Review Motorola Mobile Phone Tools 4.0

Strengths:

Very Intuitive. Easy to transfer photos and sounds to or from the computer. Easy to backup phone info onto computer.

Weaknesses:

Sometimes it can be crabby about connecting to the phone.

Posted Jul 21, 2006 - I am using this utility with a Motorola V557 phone on the Cingular network. The computer is a Compaq Presario P3/850mhz running Windows XP/Pro SP2. I asked about a utility that would meet my requirements when I bought the phone at a Cingular retail store. They sold me a cord and told me to go to the Internet and download. WRONG! It took a bit of internet research (thanks Google) to turn up this utility, but it was EXACTLY what I wanted! I returned the expensive cable to the Cingular store. The utility has an excellent graphical representation of the actual phone, making it quite intuitive to use. The functions that I wanted the most included file (photos & sounds) transfer to/from the PC and a way to backup the phone contact information. All of this was easily accomplished. I still want to try using the cell phone as a modem, but haven't gotten this far.

4 Star ReviewOn the whole, for $20 I'd buy it. It's not perfect ...

Strengths:

Allows you to download images and ringtones to a wide range of Motorola phones. Also allows Address Book and Calendar sync with Outlook.

Weaknesses:

Some bugs - see below

Posted Jul 27, 2006 - On the whole, for $20 I'd buy it. It's not perfect though. Comes with two different USB data cables. Also syncs via Bluetooth with wife's L7 SLVR. Also has drivers to make your phone look like a USB or Bluetooth modem. Some bugs: have to configure Outlook to believe that it talks to an Exchange server to get the sync to work (something that I didn't have to do for Palm/Intellisync Hotsync); Alarms & appt. durations don't transfer correctly to my V180.
