Sure. Get on Ebay and buy it for $15 or $20.

Buy a USB cable with the Motorola software on eBay for about $25.
Its cheaper cause its not the most current version of the software, but
you can get a free software upgrade from within the program.

Can you sync over Bluetooth?

If not, I just lost all interest on this phone.

You know, I did this, and I was throughly unimpressed. I ordered a
holster, charger, and USB data kit. The holster and charger were fine,
but the data kit was suspicious.

It came with a box with Chinese writing all over it. It also came with
a sheet of paper that said that they had sent to copies of the CD, the
original from Motorola, and a copy because some batches of the original
CDs had bugs. It suggested using the copy.

The copy was a CD-R with handwritten title on it. The other CD wasn't
for MPT, but rather for True-Sync.

The MPT software crashed on trying to synch with bluetooth. I set it up
to think it was using a serial port to get past the crash, and then it
did a live update and for a few minutes I had it running. Later it
wanted another Live update, and now it crashes before I can make any
choices.

Something seems a little fishy about this deal, and I can't get the
software to run, so I am pretty disappointed in it.

YMMV

Of course.

I would notify Mototola about your counterfeit software.

OK, and is any special software needed to do this? If so, is it sold
separately?

I'm specifically interested in sync'ing Mac applications (iCal, Address book).

Perhaps someone else can help you -- I don't know about Mac apps.
