Default New cell phone...

I bought this yesterday...

Its a lot different than my old Moto, but i like more each time i use it. Anyway, it has video and a camera. You can play actual songs on it for ring tones.

What im wondering is though, where can i buy the cord to hook it up to my home computer? VW wanted to see me a home office kit for 60$, i didnt think it was worth it.

Anyone have this phone? What else can you do with it once you get it hooked up to a computer. I didnt buy it for what it can do, just happened to be the only phone i liked in the store, now i gotta have some fun with it for a lil.

You probably need the Motorola Mobile PhoneTools software + USB cable kit. You can get it at Moto's website or places like Amazon or ebay.

I'm not sure if the motorola cable is supported by the verizon version of the v710. It might be now if the software on the phone was updated, but I know that when I almost bought the phone that verizon didnt support it. Can't you just buy a bluetooth card or something for your computer instead?

I didnt get the mobile web, its pointless to me. My bill would be too muh cash and excede where i want to be.

Im going to look into the cable, Maybe i have a usb one around that will work.

Cell phones are out of hand. I have a digital camera, i have internet, why do i need it on my phone. IMO my cell phone is for making calls, and thats all it should do. The tex messages are fine, i use them a lot, but stuff is out of hand these days with technology.
