I've done it on a Cingular RAZR V3 using the USB cable and some software from one of the Motorola hacking sites. Problem is even though it was supposed to be Cingular firmware I get a subsidy error on power up though the phone works fine.
Cingular/ATT will do nothing to help you in this area unlike Verizon they don't have techs in the stores. Doubtful a flash will do much to help the V3 if that's what you have, it seems to simply be a flawed phone in the end. You can use the Motorola branded Phone Tools to transfer your phone book.

I think that is cool. Maybe a newer razr would be a better option but hate to get stuck with another dud. FWIW Cingular ( at the time ) replaced the phone 3 times. no improvement. > > thanks > fp > ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
