I've flashed my RAZR V3C from Verizon to Altell's software, technically it's "hacking" the phone. Keep in mind you'll lose microSD access, but that didn't matter on the V3C. :p Link!

I will agree it's a shame, but you get a decent deal. the cable + stereo headphones + the softeware for 30 bucks. At least they ain't raping you too bad. The stereo headphones sell for 30 bucks on their own, go figure :)

You can hack the phone and use Bluetooth to xfer music, well you can on most Moto Verizon phones. Only problem there, you need the USB cable to actually perform the hack.

Anyone who has a friggin digicam has that cable. It's a very simple/common miniusb to usb cable (A to B).

are you sure it's not a bit different on the tip? I know it's just a Mini-USB, but my GF's RCA Lyrca uses a slightly different miniusb cable, where her DigiCam one won't work. My Moto Q has the same crap her Lyrca does, I find it very annoying, I think they did it to make more money. Knowing Motorola and how greedy they are, I wouldn't doubt they use the different one. But I could be wrong, and correct me if I am :)

Generic Moto cables can be had via eBay for a couple dollars and there is free software available too. The drivers are are readily available by googling. However, Bluetoof adapters can be had cheap and make it less of a hassle -no cable fiddling obviously but the transfer ability is built into the BT software. The BT software could be a bit fiddly to setup the first time (mainly just be sure to disable Windows' default BT inf to avoid Microsoft's subpar stack being installed). Google for guides, etc.

Care to provide a direct link? I also have a v3m and haven't been able to find the driver.

I know for a fact my V3c uses a miniusb, because I just steal my mom's Canon S40 a-to-b cable when I want to put new ringtones and backup my cell phone. :evil:

Okay, I bunged the file name I have into teh goggle and there were a bunch o' hits but I just confirmed this one works (scroll down to the sixth post #1386). Yeah, I could have provided the direct file link but you may find the thread useful... especially as you will prolly have to choose some "P2K" software to make use of the drivers.

Can you buy a non service agreement v3m for $100 - $150 anywhere? $300 for a phone is just retarded.

P2KCommander 3.2.6 (I think) is the best program/version. It's in the link I gave before.

MAYBE used on Ebay, new? no way, not anytime soon any ways. This phone is still popular even tho everyone and their mothers have it. $269 is the Verizon store price. Honestly you'd have a hard time finding even the bottom of the barrel Verizon phones for less then 150 :(

Perhaps transfer can be enabled with P2K Commander or such. My Moto's Java Loader was disabled by default which prevented loading apps via cable but does not prevent same via BT OBEX File Transfer.
