This program is worthless. It conflicts with Office 2003, and Acronis True Image. After installation I could not enter my Outlook inbox (I was terrified for a minute). The Live Update feature is slow, and hangs quite often (I'm talk blue screen here). I could not get the program to update after many attempts, and it did not work correctly with my L6. Many features are disabled through phone providers. Others do not work with certain phones. The GUI is very unprofessional, just like the rest of the product. This product is a gimmick. I paid $3 for it, and returned it. Its that bad.

For unlimited sizes of SMSs and Outlook syncing... but still a buggy con job from Motorola.

Like Apple, Motorola are now relegated to the bottom rungs of commercial extortion for forcing extra bucks out of your wallet for items that should be packaged with the goods when you buy them (or free for download), i.e. - all new Motorola phones should have been packaged with the FULL VERSION of Motorola Phonetools software and not the *lite version. So although you have heard about the PC software that comes free with some Motorola cell phones, what they don't tell you is that you only get the *lite version free which doesn't allow any syncing with Microsoft software and with limitations on SMS text word counts and other impaired functions that cost you an extra $30 (not $40+ like here on Amazon, do a search for the free online download unless you absolutely need the USB to cell phone connection if it didn't come with your new Motorola phone... sigh... but they should have at least given you that, or check to see if your phone has Bluetooth technology, and if so then just get a Bluetooth USB connection and use your wireless Bluetooth phone to Bluetooth USB to hook up to the software). So apart from allowing you to now do the things that you should have been able to do from day #1 it doesn't really do much else. However the Bluetooth USB setup doesn't always work right and I have found that not all cell phone work with this software yet either, so it is a bit of a buggy program. To be honest it is certainly not worth the money unless you really want to send long SMSs and sync with your MS Outlook, and it solves both these problems (that their own company created so that you would have to buy this). Basically there is no reason to be charging this much extra for such a bad piece of software that just allows for unlimited SMSs and syncing with Outlook. It doesn't work with all Motorola phones either, has a buggy Bluetooth and even USB setup and is not worth the money by a long shot. However if you need to have longer SMSs and need to sync, as I did, then you will forced to shove more cash into the hands of Motorola for this... and you should have had it from day#1.

BAH!

I disagree

I have the Motorola Mobile PhoneTools Pro v 3.1, I bought it from the Motorola UK Store, it syncs perfectly with Outlook calendar and Contacts, the other 'not pro' 3.x version syncs with the PhoneTooles own Calendar and Contacts tool, but not with Outlook. All other tools work OK, when sync-ing either with the mini USB cable or with the bluetooth dongle. In any case I agree that they should not charge for it, but it does the trick with Outlook so that keeps you from filling out two differente calendars or swithching away from Outlook. You can also SMS from the computer when the phone is attached from the Mobile PhoneTools, and if you get a call the computer will also ring which is a bit anoying, but OK if you really want to get alerted of your calls.

The imaging software lets you crop and resize the pictures from your computer and upload them to the phone as perfectly fitted (size and weight) wall paper. You can also export videos to the phone which are converted to the 3gp standard.

For me, as there was no other way of getting the phone to sync with Outlook and that being so important to me, it was necessary to buy this software and I think it does everything it promises well.

P.S.: I tried to hook up my friend's Nokia phone to my laptop and could not do it, it never recognized the phone, nothing worked, so that's so much for your free software.
