Well I know there is a "program" they want you to buy, but im just wondering if its a money grab, its like 40 bucks. Wonder if their is some easy to way to do it and I just can't figure it out :(

What about copying it? or does it have a cd key you have to enter?

It's at the office so I can check the disk tomorrow.

Did you check around the net?

you can always purchase a usb bluetooth adapter for your computer (if you don't have bluetooth). that would make it a bit easier to transfer files back and forth. i believe they are cheap now under $60. the software for the moto razr is mobile phonetools.

Before you run out and buy a USB cable, does your computer have BT? If so, you can easily beam the photo's off your phone onto your computer....I do it all the time and don't use a USB cable. Just set up your phone to be visible so you can pair it with your computer and voila....instant transfer.

That's the beauty of BT....(blue tooth, in case you didn't know what I meant)

Dude not everyone has a mac that has bluetooth built in :D. Anyways the usb cable for razr's is just your avg mini usb 5pin cable that is like $6 at a local computer store or the cable for most digital camera's will work as well.

Why spend $6 plus tax when you can just check yer crappy PC to see if it's got BT built-in, even my piece of kaka PC has BT.

Now my 24" iMac, PowerBook, MacBook and G5 all have BT built-in.....but is that MY fault? :p :D

Look Dell is having a sell on BT adapters (http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/days_of_deals?c=ca&cs=CADHS1&l=en&s=dhs) it's like $15.

Dude most desktops don't have bluetooth stock unless you bought the adapter. But if it's a laptop chances are better in having BT built in.
