MPT vs Verizon Mobile Office

Is there any difference between the Motorola Mobile Phone Tools and Verion's Mobile Office? Do either work with the V710 yet? I assume both allow for dial up connectivity from laptop and phonebook back up. Do either allow for the transfer of pictures and MP3s to/from the Phone and PC??
Yes, Nope, Yes, and Nope. 🙂
In your first reply to this thread "yes, nope..." you clearly indicate a difference between MPT and VMO. Would you please outline the specific differences and pros/cons. Thanks.
Verizon on the other hand has great customer service. Their software to allow the phone to operate as a modem with my laptop worked perfectly.
Verizon's phone book management software does NOT work in my case but I have never taken the time to try and solve the problem. It only reads about 1/4 of the numbers entered in my phone.
I originally purchased the Motorola software and the bluetooth adapter so I could use bluetooth to access my phone from my laptop. That was in the days when the phone...

I will not use as modem, only for PC Sync. Is one better than the other?
It can be a little bit flakey to set up. It is important that the Motorola USB Modem driver be installed and working properly for MPT to function (this is the first part of the install process, but sometimes it seems to get confused). However, once it is set up, it seems to work fine.
But not being able to move MP3's this way is UNFORGIVEABLE.
How am I supposed to get videos and pics off my phone? How am I supposed to use the MP3 player?
ARGGGGH!

GREAT - I just received MPT and updated it. It didn't install - I wasted an hour fiddling with the lousy Motorola cable. It synchronized calendar and contacts nicely.

Are you seriously going to use the phone to play MP3s with a lousy 10 Mb of memory? AND take photos and videos?!?
C'mon -- You need to buy a Transflash card, anyway to do all this. You will be MUCH happier tranferring files using that card (and get a USB2 reader -- it will take seconds to transfer all the files you want...)

So far, my research indicates that MPT will sync with Outlook. You must run live update after installing software. You may have to run the live update several times until you have version 2.21f. Posts also indicate you must manually load the driver for the V710. One post indicated the following procedure: "2- Update the USB driver. Go to your device manager and update the USB driver (you might see it as a big "?" in the list... Do a manual search for the driver -- You will find it here: \program files\mobile PhoneTools\inf " I cannot promise that will wo...

1 Question: Can bluetooth be used in conjunction with VZW mobile office (creating a bluetooth modem)?
Thanks 😎
