LG VX3200, Is it possible to use a data cable?

I have Metro PCS in Tampa for almost a year now with a little LG basic flip phone. My boyfriend has a Nextel i870 and I've hooked it onto the computer several times and loaded ringers and images with no problem. Does Metro block this somehow? Or do I have bad cables? I've tried 3 different cords, 2 from Ebay and one from LG. I couldn't find this question asked anywhere else on these forums but of all the sites I've looked at today this one looked the most knowledgeable about Metro's workings. I'm not a super geek with the computer or even data cables, just a tattoo artist trying to get some personalized logos on her phone. If anyone can help tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd be very grateful. Thanks.

first was by mobileaction

second is by datapilot
(but this one is a big universal adapter kit)

Yes, all of the cords I've bought came with the software. 2 wouldn't even recognize by my comp and the third which has me using a program called BitPim would see a Phone, just not the right phone. I've installed the driver and everything, just have no idea what I could be doing wrong. =\

BitPim would bring it up as a "Other" phone, and when I set it to the correct phone manually it wouldn't recognize it.
