Mobile Phone Tools Registration

I've bought a Motorola V600. Very strange that you still have to pay for the
PC software 'Mobile phone tools' where it should be included.
So, does anyone have the registration information?

Mobile Phone Software
2.16 Demo November 19 2003 (031119002767)


I need the next field info:

Name ??????????????
First Name ??????????????
Licence number ? ? ?
Registration Number ? ? ?

Hmmm, so you think that software should be free to you since you bought the
phone??

What's so strange about paying for software??

Go elsewhere, pirate!

Not strange at all. It's not needed to operate the phone, just like a
headset. Do you want a free headset as well?

Well, there is a difference here.

If you buy a piece of computer hardware that requires software, or a digital
audio player, etc., the software comes with it, not an extra charge.

Same thing with most cell phones, the software for connecting to the
computer comes with it.

So it is unusual that Motorola is charging extra for the software in this
case, for an expensive phone at that!

Wow, can you believe those Motorola guys. To think that they sell
ACCESSORIES NOW.
I guess you got a Free Car Kit as well. Cause you need the car kit to
"CONNECT TO THE CAR" And why not a FREE BlueTooth Dongle? After all you need
that to "CONNECT TO THE COMPUTER" also.

Where people get this logic, I just dont know. By the way, did you bother to
ask if the software was included at the time of purchase? Did you know
already
?, but choose to buy it anyway?

Well, leaving aside the sarcasm from you and others..guess what? The
head set and the car kit are often thrown in when you subscribe to
the service provider. They seem to make a point of not including the
software which makes me suspect the other crap isn't really what
people want most.

Nothing as such, but the thing is that Motorola used to include the
software & data cable into the phone package with its earlier models
(e.g. the Timeports came with 2 software CDs, data cable, hands free
kit). None of that was free, the cost was included in the price of the
phone as quoted.

Recently they've started to exclude accessories from the phone package
which used to be included with earlier models. Some of the accessories
are vital for using certain functions of the phones, the data cable and
software being the prime example. Instead they put an advertising leaflet
urging you to buy these accessories extra. You're practically forced to
buy them if you want to make full use of your phone.

This is a hidden price rise, a clever marketing trick. The actual cost of
the phone with all its features is the quoted price of the starter kit +
software + data cable (+ hands free kit really). The practice isn't
illegal, but of questionable ethics. Yes I know, other companies do the
same. That's not an excuse.

Whilst I agree that it is very strange that you have to pay for the
software - it's free for all Nokias, for instance - the fact is that you
*DO* have to pay for it. I paid, and I have a registration number - perhaps
you could also pay, and get one as well?

The only cellphones that I am aware of that come with software 'for
connecting to the computer' are some of the nokias. I haven't seen ANY OTHER
phones that come with software. I suppose that a USB cable should be
supplied with the phone also?? Not very likely.. As many cellphone users
never use a phone-computer connection it is an OPTION!

Your comparison with a digital audio player is not valid, since there is no
other way to get MP3 files, etc to such a player, so therefore it's not an
option. Plus most of the current MP3 players do not really require
additional software when used with a current OS, in order to transfer
'data'.
