I have a Motorola E815 and the corresponding USB cable but I have never used
it because the E815 has a Micro SD slot.  I just remove the Micro SD flash
card, connect it to my USB port and transfer pictures, videos, and music to
and from it as desired. Lately I have been putting Italian lessons on it and
occasionally listening to them.

These posts inspired me to install moto4lin and give it a try.  The only
thing I have been able to do so far is to connect to the phone. It is not
able to do any file transfers or any of the other phonebook management
things etc, you might imagine doing with such software.  The program seems
to be several years old and not maintained.

Does anybody know what protocol/language this phone understands and whether
there is any type of open specification for it anywhere?
