No luck here either, which is a major PITA. All the docs definitely
say that sync with MS Outlook is possible. Maybe only with the full
BVRP version of Phone Tools?

Excuse me following up my own post....

I spoke to Motorola Support earlier today and they confirmed that the
version of MPT currently shipped with the V3 (v3.11Ld) will not sync
with Outlook. Apparantly BVRP are in the process of correcting this
and a new version will be available from their web site
http://www.bvrp.com/eng/products/mobilephonetools/default_motorola.asp>
in "1-2 weeks".

That's a pretty serious drawback, IMO, not being able to sync to a major
computer PIM like Outlook.

Even my years-old v60, not at all a smartphone or anything of the sort, can
sync to Outlook.

Not O2 branded, at least I don't think so.
Anyone know where I can get some different themes for the phone (wallpapers
etc), as well as some basic games for free (i miss snake...)? Also, is
anyone else worried at the presnece of the magnet-locking case for the
phone? Isn't having a magnet so close to the phone a bit dangerous....tia

Why would having a magnet 'so close to the phone' be a bit dangerous?? I
mean, we're not talking about a device containing a magnetic disk or such..
So I wouldn't think that having a magnet like that would pose any problem at
all!

Agree, I've been using a Roots pouch that is held closed by magnet for about
6 months now, no problems, and my arthritis is gone to boot :-P
