"Absolute joke"
Version: DataPilot 7.01
Pros
ABSOLUTELY NONE
Cons
Well, it doesn't work. And you have to pay extra for tech support...ya, seriously. "Have your credit card ready" if you call tech support.
Summary
Worst software I have EVER purchased.

"Would like to use my new software before I retire!"
Version: DataPilot 7.01
Pros
Nice looking CD. Heard great things about the software online by others.
Cons
Still waiting for the serial number!!! I ordered this CD sometime in August 2010 after I gave up my Nextel I880 for a Sprint family plan with Samsung Exclaims.
Summary
As of this writing after getting hold of their phone support inquiring about the whereabouts of my CD, I finally recieved the CD last week. Got excited went ahead to install on computer and it asks for a serial number. The serial number on my email comes up as invalid. And they didn't send me a serial number with the CD. So just got done submitting a ticket for the serial number. Hoping one day....before I grow old and die I get to try it out for myself.
If I don't recieve the serial number in the next 3 months does anyone want this CD? I'll give it to you for free! You pay the shipping charges.

"Mediocre product & funky support. Mis-hit functionality"
Version: DataPilot 7.01
Pros
The cables work, and the Bluetooth interface is adequate.
Cons
CD doesn't do much, two of my phones couldn't be found by the software, and the one that was had to restart several times during data transfer. (New laptop with Win 7.0 64 bit)
Summary
For example, Samsung Ace appears to be mis-listed as SCH-i325; it is actually an SPH-i325 and DataPilot can't find it, even if Bluetooth discovers it correctly. The CD is just a way to get to a website, which is probably because there are thousands of phones, but the label makes you think it is specific to Samsung, like the cables. No phone support, and no acknowledgement or reply to e-mail. The Skype contact gimmick is sort of cute but just wasted time. If you can test it with the free trial version, maybe OK, but don't walk out of a store thinking you will go home and start backing up your phone. I finally just key-pounded the contacts into a spreadsheet by hand. It might be quicker and cheaper than fighting with this software.

"Simple and Easy to use"
Version: DataPilot 7.01
Pros
Allowed me to access some pics on a phone without having a flash card to read.
Cons
Took a little while to figure it out; not for the computer illiterate.
Summary
For price I'd recommend purchase if you need to move pics to your PC.and not break the bank.

"Great value for money"
Version: DataPilot 7.01
Pros
works with most phones
excellent price for what you get
easy phone detectCons
None really.
Summary
I have always had troubles with getting the phones work with computer. This software picks up the drivers without the need to install driver every time you plug in the phones. Great solution to backup pictures and contacts easily.

"Worked great for downloading data from old phones"
Version: DataPilot 7.01
Pros
Needed to download photos from some old, out of service cell phones. This worked perfectly.
Cons
Trial version puts watermarks on the pictures, but at least you can tell if the software will work for you.
Summary
Worth the $19.95 price, but look for coupon codes on the Web.

"Datapilot bad product"
Version: DataPilot 7.01
Pros
Comes with a cable that actually works.
Cons
Ringtone composer doesn't work with any imports on my computer.
Product support doesn't exists.
Upgrade only wants to sell me a new product.Summary
I feel like I wasted my money on this product. It's came out of the box as an old version 6.1.0. I see this revies on cnet says 7.01. I can't find a way to upgrade. It only cost me $19.99 and I can edit my phone book using it so maybe 1 star is enough.
