moto phone tools and truesync both let you change and manage things in your
phone like phonebook, calendar and let you make backups of your phone.
Phone tools lets you play with ringtones (including load MP3 tones to your
phone), upload, download and edit pics. You can take a pic from your comp
and crop it/resize it to fit best on your phone screen.

Phonetools is well worth the $$ and has lots of features (even SMS stuff).
It is also nice since it displays a pic of your phone, and it works for
multiple phones (i use it for my v300 and v60).

Download phone tools here:

http://www.motclub.com/html/programs.htm

Its a spanish site, but the programs are the eng version.
There is also a drivers section with the appropriate modem drivers etc.
As you say, you should be able to pick up a USB data cable for under $10
on ebay.
Hope that helps
