That statement simply isn't true. I can interface the v60s with my
computer for sync'ing calendar and contacts, as well as for data access,
without a problem.

Perhaps Motorola and Verizon don't officially support it, I'm not sure,
but it can be done quite easily.


I have not noticed that the phone has worse reception than comparable
phones (such as the LG VX4500) that have a stub antenna. The stub
antenna pretty much kills reception on any phone that incorporates one.
I'm not sure why Motorola simply didn't redesign the antenna to make it
into a decent extendable antenna, and I have no idea why LG abandoned
the extendable antenna that they employed on earlier model phones.

It has been reported in the forums that you can replace the antenna on
the V60s with a retractable one from a V60i to improve reception. They
are available at Radio Shack for about $10
