This is right off VZN'z website. I subscribe to the Nationwide plan so I am exempt. This is how I read it. Backup Assistant is only $1.99 per month, per line. If you register for My Verizon as the Account Owner, we'll waive the monthly charge for Backup Assistant.* (That's a $1.99 per month value for each line on your account!) Visit My Verizon for details. * Unless you subscribe to V CAST VPak, V CAST Mobile TV Select Package or Nationwide Premium Plan, downloading the Backup Assistant application will require approximately 1 MB of data. Data sent or received will be aggregated each month, rounded up to the next megabyte and billed at $1.99 per MB. -----Original Message----- From: Shal Farley [mailto:sh...@ve...] Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 12:40 AM To: bit...@li...

Either get an online account >(free) with VZN or download it for 1.99. Then I'm very confused. I have a MyVerizon account, and read about BA as much as I could. All the instructions lead to downloading the application to the phone directly (over the air). I'm not paying the $5/mo for data services, and I've had the $2/MB option blocked on my phone, so the attempt to download BA to the phone fails at the first step: can't connect via Browse and Download. I went back into the Verizon store to ask about it and they asserted that even if I unblocked long enough to download BA, it would need to incur per megabyte charges (or unlimited plan) for its nightly backups too. So at that point I went looking for BitPim. >Have never synched through windows media player so I don't know >what that does. It is pretty easy, and it automatically converts the song from whatever format its in to an mp3 in the phone's native sample rate on the fly (possibly saving space on your microSD card). That results in artist and album folders, and even the album artwork, in the phone's My Music menu. Very slick indeed. With a caveat on the "whatever" -- I couldn't coax it into syncing my m4a files from iTunes, despite installing an add-in and codec that were supposed to fix that. I had to tell iTunes to convert them to .mpg first. Took a while to figure out that was what I needed to do, but iTunes help told me how once I knew what. -- Shal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
