Bit Pim software - customize and Synch CDMA cell phones

This is free open source software to allow storing information on your cell phone and moving information from your Cell phone to your PC.  It does not use blue tooth and requires a cell phone data cable.  The page lists all phones that will work with the software.  The data cables for a phone are pretty inexpensive and usually run about $20.00 or so. 

 

It works on Windows, Linux and Mac.  You can use it to update and set up your contacts on the phone, add ring tones, pictures, etc  It gives you a nice tree view of the files on the phone or files that are located on a sd card inside the phone. 

 

It will synchronize your Outlook schedule with the phone.  The only down side is the time it takes here.  Be prepared to wait a while for this funtion to complete.  It's nice to be able to have your Outlook schedule on your phone.  The size of the data you can synchronize depends on the phone as different phones have diffferent specifications for storage but the help section here gives you the information on all the phones currently supported.   

 

There is a help forum on the site and the help section is pretty complete, so be sure to read first before using the software.  I currently use an LG 9800, which allows for a ton of space and it is a fairly new

phone.
