data cable for Lg vx8000

Feb 8, 2005 8:52AM PST

Anybody know where or when a data cable will be avalable for this phone. Seems verizon and lg didn't think about the need of some to update phone books and transfer information to and from laptops. Help.

Software too?

If I use the LG VX7000 data cable for the LG VX8000, does the software also work with the LG VX 8000 too? Any glitches?

I contacted LG to confirm some other issues before I bought mine -- including your question. They told me a) the cable for the VX7000 will NOT work because the connectors are different (I have not confirmed this), and b) it will be up to Verizon whether or not they issue one. Verizon told me they will not. I hope both statements are not true.

Sorry i didn't update this thread a long time ago.
the cable for the 6000 or 7000 does work. i don't know what the specific need are for your applications.
I use the cable for internet purposes.
If you are still using a windows opperating system i cannot help. verizon has not put out the bogus software needed for the 8000 yet.On a mac. you set it up the same as with the 1X system with the exception of the modem string. If you can get your hands on the Verizon string for the pcmcia card that works well. If not use the sprint pcs string.
