LG VX-8100
BitPim for VX8100
Today I downloaded the newest "unofficial" release of BtiPim that has the VX8100 listed.
I connected to my phone via bluetooth and easily imported my Outlook contacts to my telephone.
In addition I also made a ringtone from a mp3 through bitpim very easily. No manual labor just chose the ringtone tab and imported. It did some conversion and then on the screen I was able to shorten the length of the file (like play 3-30 secs of song).
Piece of cake.
Only issue I did see is that if you erase a ringtone it does not move it from the "list" that you have to do the old method of erasing the dat files I believe

Just wondering, where did you get the unofficial release? I've been using the official 0.7.34 release with the data cable on my pc, and can't access anything except "filesystem" tab. It's easy to use, but I'd love to be able to sync outlook w/my phone too.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Great post.

I clicked on the link and it takes you to something called RapidShare. I don't like to download anything I'm not familiar with, and I don't see Bitpim mentioned anywhere on the site. Do you click on the "free" button to download Bitpim?
...
I appologize. The previous link was for a program to upload like 155 ringtones and over 200 songs. However this is the proper link for BitPim that supports VX8100.

This includes what you need to get your contacts from outlook, csv files etc and also lets you take your mp3 directly and make a ringtone.
In the ringtone tab, you add a mp3. Then you set settings like stereo (2) 22050 32 bit and hit convert. After it converts you can use the levels on the bottom to narrow your selection so you only play 15-20 seconds of the song. I have done. Then you hit OK. I made 3 ringtones from about 4meg song into 59K or so 15 second files that uploaded to the righ...

You hit "FREE" on the bottom and have to wait about 30 seconds then you can download the file.

Not sure whats going on in your case but I'll try to get you in the right direction. First connect the data link cable to your phone & PC.
Click on your Start button on your PC, Select Control Panel, then Performance & Maintenance, goto System, select Hardware, Device Manager, Expand where you see (Ports), Now that tells you, the COM Port your phone is now on. It should say LG CDMA USB Modem Serial Port Drivers (WDM)(COM#). Now when you start Bitpim select that com port. Make you other selections. It should detect you phone now. If not check to make sure you properly installed the drivers for the datalink cable.

thx for the help i tried it but it still doesnt detect my phone i think theres something screwed up in the settings or something.
...
I've been using the data cable with this bitpim for a week or two and it will not detect your phone as long as you have the settings set to the lg-vx8100 it will read and write everything to your phone. I get the same warning, and am still able to download ringtones to and from my phone, get pictures from my phone, and import my contacts into bitpim (never imported them into outlook). Also, the quality can be altered to 48kbps for ringtones. And for some reason on my phone it doesn't take away from my allotted ringtone memory when i'm adding ringtones and i dont have the problem when i delete ringtones of them lingering in the ringtone list.

So I've downloaded bitpim 7.35 and it seems to work great to add ringtones to my phone. I like how you don't have to reboot the phone to see the ringtones like you did before with 7.34.
But a question on the phonebook--I was able to "get phone data" and see my phone contacts in bitpim so that I could edit the entries. But can I "backup" these entries in bitpim also? I want to use it as a backup in case I lose the phone or erase entries by accident. Currently I use the verizon backup assistant feature (1.99/month). I know you can import contacts from Outlook but I don't usually use Outlook for all my contacts, so I would have to manually enter all my entries in Outlook and continually update them there and then import. I don't mind...
