Cool. What version of MPT do you have, and where did you get it? If
you bought it online, what did you pay for it?

And are you using MPT over Bluetooth? If so, what Bluetooth adapter
do you have?

Thx

I "found it" on the internet; I'm using 2.21e, which is the latest
version.

I use a Belkin dongle.

If you "found it" at motclub, how long ago was that? The link to
matrax gives me permission denied.

Like I said before, I really want to buy this, but I want to see that
it works first. Any chance you can help a brother out? If so,
remove the XXs from the email address.

I use bluetooth and a Belkin dongle. Again, I don't use Lotus Notes so
can't verify that.

I, too, downloaded MPT from Motorola. I may well have the files you
need to hand so reply here if you have no joy elsewhere.

I'm dog paddling around here, too. I just bought a V505 last nigh
(AT&T), and I don't want to go through the hell of entering all m
contacts (a sizeable number) through the keypad. Since the phone's go
Bluetooth, it seems to me that I should be able to get a Bluetoot
dongle for my laptop, connect to the phone, and use some tool to updat
the address book.

One would -think- that this is something that a lot of people woul
want to do, and that instructions for such a thing would be in th
manual. Alas, no.

So, presuming that I know nothing about hacking cell phones, an
nothing about using Bluetooth devices, can someone lead me through th
steps to get this sort of thing done?

BTW, my preferred OS is SUSE Linux 9.1. Windows is available, but no
readily.

1) Buy a Bluetooth dongle for the laptop.
2) Accquire software to connect to the phone
3) ...
4) Profit!

thx

1. Buy a Bluetooth dongle for the laptop.
2. Acquire a copy of "mobile PhoneTools" by BVRP Software (I'm told it
can be found on Kazaa).
3. Set up software to work with a "v500" phone (the software doesn't
have a choice for v505, but works perfectly with v500).
4. Set up software to sync with Lotus Notes (or Outlook, whichever you
prefer).
5. Press the sync button, and your contacts and calendar will by
synced.

The software I mentioned above is only for Windows.
