I joined this forum specifically because I'm so annoyed at the Fone Data Suite MA-8870 mentioned above as an alternative to Motorola. It doesn't work. It tries to install a wireless modem on your PC by default, screws up your previously existing internet settings, and the phone manager can't find the handset so you can't even download photos (which is all I wanted it for). As I sit here (having, obviously, sorted out my internet connection) it has spent 10 minutes "trying to connect to handset", does not show up on the com port as it should according to the help file, does show up as "Motorola modem" in the modems (which I specifically did not want), and the troubleshooting page is worse than useless. Same on my (brand new, bog standard because I haven't had time to mess around with it yet) windows laptop. My advice - steer clear of this piece of junk at all costs unless you want to spend a frustrating afternoon trying to access your handset.
