Motorola E815 Data Cable

Anyone have this phone? I'm trying to find a data cable that will actually let me transfer files to this phone...

People have suggested Motorola's data cable AAKN4011A for the V710... are these compatible? How does it work? Does it just show up as a USB drive?

I bought one today. Don't have a cable though. I've been trying to do this via Bluetooth with no luck. My Mac sees it, but it doesn't seem to be compatible yet. Hopefully that just means Apple writing in support for this model being its new. Address book and calender aside though, I just want to be able to throw some AAC files over to it. Although this phone says it will read an AAC file, I can't figure out how to get one on it! Anyone else have any experience with this phone?

Its verizon who's the problem. Cingular has many Motorola phones that work just fine with iSync. As said earlier in this forum and confirmed to my by a verizon salesman, verizon has not allowed any phone manufacturer to allow syncing with phones via bluetooth. The salesman told me it was because they "don't want viruses" on their network but the truth is that they don't want people using any other protocol besides their pay one.
On the motorola side, just got off with a customer service guy, he said to me that the Motorola mobil phone tools version3.0 is compatible with this phone and comes with the correct usb cable needed to connect to a computer. Its sold on their website only. I'm going to buy one but my only concern is that it is not mac compatible. I often find with these various third party syncing decives that they do not work on mac. Hopefully the usb cable will be all that we need and it will work from there.
Lastly, incase anyone was wondering, the customer service guy told me that subject to this cable working etc, you would be able to transfer mp3's from your computer to your phone!! A nice touch
Hope this helps

Was at the verizon store today getting my contacts changed over and they told me I could buy the Verizon office tools kit to do all the syncing. He said it includes the USB cabel I need and the software which is compatable for mac! I'll let you guys know if any of the ends up working, should be a few days before I get the stuff since he had to order it.
