Journal FortKnox's Journal: [UPDATED] Father's Day 20
Happy father's day to all you other dad's.
I got a nice Motorolla Razr from my wife. I was upset she spent all that money... but only a little ;)
So the day was just church, then a nice lunch at Max and Erma's (their new potato salad is great, with sour cream and stuff... and their 'fire and ice' salad is pretty rockin... its a standard tomato-cucumber-onion salad, but the dressing is loaded with chili peppers, so its got a pretty heavy kick to it)
Now everyone is sleeping while I'm figuring out how to upload ringer tones to my phone (and writing this entry). The rest of the day will be dedicated to hanging curtains and weeding my garden (so far I have 5 tomato plants (cherry, jelly bean, and meateater styles), 5 green beans, and about 10 basil plants. The peppers haven't even come through, so I'm about to call them a failure. I already have some tomato's growing, so I need to run out and grab some cages to give them some support...
So all you other father's... how's your day going?
Update: Suck... looks like the only way I can get mp3s and stuff to my cell is buy it off a website, or buy the $45 usb cable for the phone. Email and stuff doesn't work. I don't suppose anyone knows workarounds for this??

Bluetooth dongles are relatively cheap now...big question is whether your phone supports it, but I'm guessing it wouldn't have been brought up if it didn't. If your phone supports Bluetooth and your carrier hasn't crippled it, you should be able to move files on/off the phone fairly easily. With my current phone (a Treo 650

Also, your mini-USB cable didn't need a Motorola edge connector?
I don't have a RAZR, just a 551.
Cingular hasn't blocked anything, I can move MP3s and my photos back and forth over BT just fine on my Mac. but Cingular itself sucks
I'm going back to T-Mobile as soon as my contract is up or they try to modify it, giving me an out.
(I wish I hadn't given up my free bandwidth grandfathering
Oh, and the capture resolution on the 551 sucks

I'd love that BT capability. I'd even pop for a BT dongle for my desktop, if the phone would work with it.
The Razr camera is decent, not great. It does not handle intense brightness all that well (lots of bloom), but it's very convenient for most normal photos. Probably has some pe

My 5 day old daughter gave me a nice pic of her holding my little finger in a nice frame.
re: your phone problem. I had the same thing with my Telus (.ca provider). Had to buy the USB cable but from there used a program called BitPim (free, on sourceforge IIRC) which let me put my own MP3s, pics, etc onto the phone.
good luck!

But of course the weeds all grow three times faster than anything else. Even my jalapeno plants (which are indoors, in the bathroom since that gets really warm on a sunny day) had a stinger g

Before you shell out anything for the MP tools, don't do it- you won't be able to download ring tones, pictures, or basically anything unless you go through their lame-o pay service. They disabled OBEX in the later firmwares- anything above
There is a work around, but it involves a SEEM edit which basically inval

If you get the Motorolla phone tools you will probably be able to download/upload. Otherwise, try BitPim- great utility and I got it to work with a generic Motorolla modem driver (in the link above). It's a little on the hacky side, but I was able to get a few things off my phone with it even when MPT could not(Such as the videos)-- http://www.bitpim.org/ [bitpim.org].
