[G4] Moto V551 and bluetooth and iSync

[William Wiseman]

Is it a Cingular-branded (locked) phone? I have heard that some of  
these V551's will not sync due to changes Cingular makes in the  
software/firmware. Mine was shipped unlocked (I have an AT&T card) so  
I avoided the Cingular problem. I understand that these phones will  
sync via USB.

I remembered something else about this problem, so you might want to
