Moves Data to/from PC But Does Not Synch Data [Posted on 2006-01-30]
Backs up data from Phone to PC just fine (LG VX4650). Does not *Synch* Phone to PC, or PC to Phone. Simply overwrites one with the other.

It will only upload the entire contents of the phone contact list (takes about 7 minutes for 434 numbers). It will not upload only changes. Same for downloads to the phone; All or nothing. This also means it is nearly useless for editing contacts on the PC. Takes too long to upload entire database, change one or more items, then download entire database again.

There is a "merge" feature, but only for two or more databases of numbers in DataPilot's PC database.

DataPilot will import numbers from Outlook, but marks each one with a comment "Outlook Contact." The comment then gets downloaded with the number to the phone so that every number has the same comment. Stupid waste of phone memory.

Downloads pictures wo buying added feature from phone co [Posted on 2007-01-09]
I bought this tool to download pictures from my phone without having to buy another feature from my wireless phone company.

This product does that. I gave it 3 stars because you have to have the right combination of turning on the phone, pluging in the cable, starting the computer, specifying where the cable is plugged in, for the software to work.

Specifically, the automatic detect (which detects which computer port the cable is connected to) doesn't work, and you have to go through your computer system, figure out the port name, and specify it in the software.

Then the software recognizes that you have phone connected.

But it works for what I bought it for, and after 6 months pays for itself.

2nd rate program [Posted on 2007-03-09]
I purchased a Sprint LG Fusic cell phone on the salesman's assurance that the phone would "sync" my 500+ contacts, notes, and schedule, etc. with Microsoft Outlook as my Palm pilot currently does IF I bought the Susteen Datapilot program. After installing the program on my home PC and putting it to work, I quickly discovered that the program does not synchronize (or exchange) information with Outlook at all. Datapilot does a poor job of importing Microsoft Outlook files, transfering information incompletely, improperly formatted, etc. After what information is successfully transferred into Datapilot, this information
is, then, exported to the phone. Thereafter, any changes made to Outlook files or phone data do not get exchanged back and forth between the PC and the phone. Information can only go 1 way. Changes made in Outlook on the PC can only overwrite what is already in the phone, so, any changes made to phone date will be lost and vice versa. I ended up returning both the Datapilot AND the phone (and the phone return was no easy task).
Overall, a VERY dissatisying, frustrating experience.

Not So Good [Posted on 2008-05-01]
I'm dissapointed in the product for the LG Rumor. The Outlook contact link is clunky and the calendar is non-existent. I can more easily link MP3's through a direct USB connection rather than use this S/W. They took over a month to ship the S/W and sent the wrong package w/wrong USB cable. I wasted my money on this.

Great Product, depending on the phone it can be easy to use or a real pain. Not the fault of the software.
