8600 Data Cable & 8700???
ProfAug 7, 2007, 9:59 PM
Today I had to have my beloved 8600 replaced (under warranty) with the 8700 (my Verizon store is out of the 8600, so . . . ). When I tried to connect to BitPim to put my ringtones, etc. on this new phone, I was surprised that the USB cable (the ne that came with the VZW Music Essentials Kit for my 8600) would not sync my phone (even though the cable does "fit."
Oh, gee. Must I buy another USB cable for this 8700?
Thanks!

I own the 8700 and recently purchased the Music Essentials Kit for the 8600 on eBay. It works perfect with BitPim. It's a BitPim issue. Make sure the drivers for the data cable are installed and that you're running the lastest version of BitPim. It should auto-detect the 8700. If not, follow the instructions to manually detect the phone. You should be fine.

Bingo! Not sure why that worked, but it did! Tonight I am much happier with this replacement phone than I was last night.
Many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not entirely sure. I believe it depends on BitPim and whether or not it can run on Vista. If it does, you should be fine.
