Both are available on Ebay.

BitPim is free and actually works better for saving and restoring your
phone data but does *not* allow an automatic transfer from or to
Outlook, you'll need to export your contacts from Outlook as a .csv
file and import that into BitPim, you'll need Motorola Phone Tools to
do a direct import from Outlook to the phone. You can get MPT and the
USB data cable you'll need from Ebay.

Ignore Richard's pathetic whining, Kathy, he's wrong as always, he's
too stupid to understand that his phone works exactly as advertised and
waaaaay too stupid to change it to work the way he wants it to work.

If your phone is a Verizon phone, and you say it isn't but of course
Richard had to spout off his idiocy w/o reading your post, it will do
exactly as you want using MPT.

Check out the T-Mobile section on Howard Forums, there's probably
information there that will be useful to you.
