lg vx 5200

Here's a recently reply from cell phone provicer:
***********
Due to new features and software changes, the LG 6100 was the last phone to come out with this
option to save a Voice Memo to ringtone. The LG 5200, Audiovox 8940, LG vx8100, etc, do not have
this option any longer.

Current phones are moving more towards options with direct downloaded applications and what's
called Mini SD cards to use as like a external hard drive to play applications like sound or video
clips on your phone.

As an owner of one of the newer phones, I can understand your frustration on this. Applications
and equipment features and options frequently change, so options similar to what was available in
the past could become available again. I will definitely pass this information from you along to
Marketing for consideration.

I agree with you sublime and so do others. We need to voice our opions back to the cell phone providers and manufacturers as to what features we want and fuss when it's taken away. I don't know who decided this but wasn't smart one bit.

Here was what I wrote back:
*******
It wouldn't be hard to look through some of the cell phone forums online and see that customers are asking about this feature and complaining about it. I'm not sure how Verizon or any company goes about deciding which features are important but the best way is to ask the people. Either through some sort of online forum or Verizon keeping in touch with forums that are already online to see what customers are doing and want.

People want to make their phones personal as they are. They want to customize them and part of that is the ringtones. Just like the cute covers, holders, flashing antenas, etc. If people enjoy their phones they're going to be happier. But take those features away and they're going to find one that still has it. Just like myself. I was not aware and neither were the salespeople at the store. I guess if I want that feature I have to go to the older VX3300. I won't have a camera but I can't afford the 6100, which I think will let you savve voice notes. I haven't checked with my neighbor who has one. But nevertheless I can't afford it really. It just seems a bit silly to take that feature away whens it's not that complicated to add it either. Better selling point than not having a feature customers want.

I'm within my 15 days and comtemplating just going back and getting the VX3300. It will save me money anyway.

the features of the VX5200 are nice and imo worth the current software drawbacks...maybe soon we'll see some software thats able to modify our phones via the outragously priced USB cable.

Hey, I found this on E-Bay:

Looks like they are confident it will support the 5200. They seem to have a guarantee.

If anyone gets one Keep us all posted.

Michael

Tried QPST for LG VX5200...no luck unfortunately...maybe in a few months..

Might be some hope guys. I'm getting reports of using USB data cable and BitPM working and also a couple of people on EBay selling cables and software that's supposed to work on VX5200.

I"m waiting back on one guy I know that I trust to verify it. Also I'm ordering mine this week to give it a shot as well.

Michael

Still waiting on my cable to arrive but will keep you posted.

I sent you one email just to make sure it goes to the right place. If you didn't get it let me know.

Michael

yup, i got your email but i found the other persons' post to not have enough information for me to get mine to work...maybe i'm missing something?

Which software are you using?

tried bitpim, but i cant find the drivers that this person said they had.
