FoneLink: Mac mobile phone management

Has anyone used PhoneLink (or BitPimp) with a non-Bluetooth Motorola phone via USB connection, such as the Moto V325?

While it is definitly true that Mac OS X has some abilities to "talk" to a mobile phone, the experience with FoneLink is completly different, it is like comparing a Win 3.11 file listing with the Finder in Mac OS X. And remember, FoneLink is not an iSync replacement, but a management tool for your mobile phone - just like iTunes for your iPod.

To actually see your mobile phone and flashcard in a finder-like view with all folders results in the best way to transfer many files to the phone at once - even to different folders.

To see and edit notes and bookmarks of your phone on the Mac was hardly possible at all.

And to restore *all* of the phones data if the content is lost due to a firmware upgrade or if the phone was replaced is a true help that saves hours of frustration.

So let us say, if you rely on existing possibilities to perform a task we would have never seen technologies like Mac OS X, iPhone, iPod, iLife or other solutions at all.

Even though FoneLink might not be your solution in the first place, you might want to try it nevertheless ;-)

Thank you

For most people, iSync fills this purpose more than adequately, Address Book can hold more information (and a greater variety of information) than my Nokia 6230i.
Calendars are handled well by iSync too.
While I would like to copy notes, Photos and Voice-Recordings using iSync, Bluetooth Transfer does the job for me fine, and with a few Applescript Folder Actions can be integrated with iCal, iPhoto and iTunes.

My mobile management for me is free: Bluetooth on an MPB and a Motorola Pebl. I don't need anything else. All the apps I need are already on my laptop - Address Book, iSync, iCal, Audacity.
