I just bought a V400 phone, and a friend of mine lent me his USB cable for the phone.
I would like to know what software I can use to backup the data on my phone (pictures, ring tones, phone book) and also allow me to upload new games and ring tones.
I also obtained a copy of Mobile Phone Tools 3.11h. But I cannot get it to work. I think it is because I need a driver for the phone. I cannot find one to work within the files that came with MPT. Can anyone help point me in the right direction to obtain a driver?

Right click the zip file and select extract all, click next, pick a place for it to put the unzipped folder, click next, and your done. Now plug in the phone, turn it on, and when it asks if you want to search windows update for the drivers, say no, next, select Install from a list or specific location, next, only check the Includ this location in the search, and point it to the folder that you extracted before, next, it should install your phone.
If this doesn't help, i'll check back when I have more time, and I'll post again.

whenI right click it doesn't say any of that stuff but when I tried deleting it it said it was a "read only file" does that tell you anything?

you sure you got the right file? download again, make sure it ends in the extension .zip. Also, if your not using Windows XP, make sure you have WinZIP installed.

Remember Shareware? hardly exsists anymore... But it was great, you get a product for free, and decide if you ever want to pay for it. WinZIP is like that, you can pay if you want, but you dont have to, you can use it forever!
