Now it sounds like you are getting paranoid ... The driver offered by
futuredial works on a number of Sanyo phones. Futuredail may not support
this phone for syncing, etc. on their software products yet as it's such a
new model, but that doesn't mean the driver won't work for your phone
model. Joe Huber has already said that he has it working.

Just download & install the driver, get yourself a cable and get it set up
per the prior instructions.

You can also get the driver here:

and find an inexpensive cable on eBay...get the charging cable, they're
ususally about the same price.
