I found this cheap USB cable to connect my V180 phone to my computer.
The ad for the cable said I could download free software to sync it
with my computer. After getting the cable I can't find the free
software. I tried returning the cable, but I get no response from the
company despite the fact that they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Anyway, I could just call the $17 a loss, but I thought I would give
this group a shot. Is there some free way to use my cable? I just
want to load names and phone numbers on it, and maybe a fun ringtone.

I very recently started using the V180 and was surprised to find that the
same USB cable that is used on my GPS also works on the V180. So I went
searching for the appropriate driver & software. Here's what I did:
Downloaded the USB driver from here & installed:

I found the following forum information at:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/141767
Go to here for the software:
http://coma.fsb.hr/motorola/files/Mo...nal.Retail.rar
This works for the V180 and allows transferring pictures, ring tones and
synchronization.
You'll probably need to insall the correct archiving utitlity for the above.

This all worked fine for me and I'm running Windows XP Pro with SP2. Good
Luck.

This is good information. I used the cable from my digital camera for the
V180 and then downloaded the DataPilot software. I had to pay for the
download but saved on not having to buy the cable.
