Version: BitPim 1.0.4
"Excellent, as basic programs go, regardless of cost."
Pros: As far as basic programs go for accessing and updating your phone's information, BitPim has been very helpful to me over the years. There ARE other programs out there that will do what BitPim does, but often, you can only get trial versions of them.
Cons: As implied above, if you want more bells and whistles, and a program that makes it crystal clear exactly what you're changing and where, you'll want to go for something more extensive; just be prepared to pay for it later.
Summary: As long as the version of BitPim that you download works with your phone, it's a great program for allowing you to access the basic information in your phone. I was able to use BitPim also, with no problems, to create my own ringtones, and enjoyed doing so, as it was made easy for me by the program.
When I recently upgraded to the LG EnV Touch, I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to get BitPim to work (going by online commentary), but Version 1.0.7 works GREAT with that make and model of phone. Thanks to BitPim, I wasn't stuck manually re-entering my calendar information, notepad entries, and other data. Other reviews did, however, warn of using BitPim to transfer contacts, then being COMPLETELY unable to add any more contacts after granting BitPim access to that area of my phone, so I just continue to use Backup Manager from Verizon Wireless to do that. Be careful when you're tinkering with your phone with BitPim (or any other program, for that matter), but rest assured that if you're sensible, it should do exactly what you want and need it to.
