Re: what about pictures? I used to be able to do this with my LG VX8100 using BitPIM. Then I "upgraded" to a VX8350 and have regretted it ever since. It seems that Verizon became aware of BitPIM's abilities and blocked access to many phone features on the phone itself. So now Verizon is trying to force me to pay $2 to buy a ringtone for a song that I already own legally. Or, worse, deny me from adding my own ringtones because they might be copyrighted songs. (What if my ringtone was a text-to-speech translation of "Jason, your wife is calling you."?)
I did find MyxerTones.com which works half the time, but still that winds up costing me 25 cents per ringtone. Like you said, I should be able to connect the phone to the PC and transfer photos, ringtones, etc on and off of the phone. At the very least make photos on and off transferable and make ringtones a "transfer to phone/delete file only" level of access.
It's interesting that Verizon is talking about opening their network, but I'll believe it when I see the results. Right now, the cynic in me thinks that this will be a plan option that will cost $10 more per month and come with a bunch of fine print restrictions. |
