Thanks - I've been using Motorola Phone Tools with my RAZR - only
would let me synch phone book, not calendar. I called MPT support the
other day and they led me through changing the phone driver to V710.
When I did this I could synch both calendar and phonebook -
interesting workaround I thought I'd pass along.
