Pros: Can sync my V.66 phone with Mac OS X Address Book and iCal
Cons: Ummm...wasn't free?
The Bottom Line: I recommend it for Mac OS X users who use Address Book/iCal. I recommend looking on eBay. I paid $5 for mine.

| rharder's Full Review: Motorola USB Data Cable Replacement For Motorola V... |
Although Macs are not officially supported, I was able to use this cable to connect my Motorola V66 phone (I have T-Mobile) to my iMac with Mac OS X 10.2.6.
With iSync 1.1 I could sync my addresses and calendar items to/from my phone, palm, and iPod. Way cool. iSync options:
[checkbox] Contacts
Synchronize [pop up menu list with address book groups]
[checkbox] Only synchronize contacts with phone numbers
[checkbox] Calendars
[radio] All
[radio] Selected: [list box with iCal calendars listed]
Put events created on Phone into [popup menu list with iCal calendars]
Events Time Zone: [time zone] [Set... button]
I made up a new group in Address Book called "My Mobile Phone" so I could easily drag contacts to it to be synchronized.
If a contact has more than one phone number, say home, work, and mobile, then in your V66's phone book they will have three entries with appropriate icons next to them (!) so the home number will have the home icon, etc. Very nice.
Additionally, I got new /dev/tty.usbmodem0111 and /dev/cu.usbmodem0111 devices and upon opening System Preferences and clicking on Network, I was alerted that I had a new port, a "Motorola Phone (V.series 66)" so theoretically if I had a dialup account I could use it. Also very nice.
