Don't buy the cable from Motorola. They want $25 for it. It's just a standard USB to mini-B cable. Fry's has them for $10-11 or so, and doubtless you can find one even cheaper. You may already have one if you own other snall USB devces -- my digi camera and my 60 Gb pocket drive both came with one.

The cable is actually useful even if we can't get the software to work. That's because if you plug it into your computer it will charge the phone's battery off the USB port. I've found that kind of handy.
