Motorola Phone Tools Question?

I have a copy of Motorola Phone Tools V3.11 and am wondering, is there a
tutorial anywhere that shows you how to use this thing? Do many of you use
it and if so, do you find it handy? I have the V180 and need to get a data
cable so I can hook it up to my USB port on the PC. Is this cable something
that has to be ordered from Motorola or can I buy it at any computer store?
Is it called data to usb or what?

Thanks so much!
