Audiovox CDM-9900

I have an Audiovox 9900 which I have used for the past four years or so. I love the phone, but am told by Audiovox that its software just doesn't support some of the stuff I want to do. Like download pictures using the cable I have, or downloading the phonebook to my computer, or using the Verizon Backup Assistant to save my phone listings on their site.

I have checked out the Susteen DataPilot software, but it only lets me use it for the phonebook download.

Does anyone know if there is a software update available so I can use this phone with Verizons Backup Assistant, or to download my pictures onto my computer, etc????

I would keep this phone, and the extra one I have as a replacement, for many years to come if it would only do these extra things.
