I'm torn on things like this, where I am really appreciative that an app even exists and I'm also disgusted by how it works. The user interface is terrible and when you get errors the feedback is not friendly. Getting it to talk to the phone is a pain. When it DOES work it works well, but I've only gotten there by memorizing the steps that make it happy. I admit a large part of the fault is the manufacturers -- communication with cellphones should be standardized and developers shouldn't have to hack the phones one model at a time, as the Bitpim crew has, to reverse engineer how they work. Moreover, Verizon deliberately cripples bluetooth on some phones, adding to the user headaches. So, I'm sympathetic but still hate using Bitpim; I recommend it b/c it's the best we can do. Verizon is not helpful, either. I've had the best luck with BitPim vx8700, moderate success with vx8300, and problems with vx5300 -- it's just not consistent. I would better I think with USB cables over Bluetooth buit don't want to buy all those cables and hate cables anyway.

So when will iSync be extended to LG? Probably never.
