It will be if from Verizon.  Motorola have a habit of shipping phones with
the same model number, but significantly different inside (ie some are GSM,
some are CDMA, some are J2ME, some are Brew)

If you have a CDMA model, the filesystem view should work.  The phonebook
will need new code written.  The good news is (IIRC) all the Motorola
phones use the same sync protocol and it isn't binary like the existing
phones BitPim deals with.  It is more like dealing with Comma Seperated
Values.  I believe it is also the basis for the OBEX protocol which is
used by GSM phones as well as Palms and PocketPCs when doing infra-red
exchanges.

I see from your following message that you got it working.  What you posted
in this message won't work as you need two endpoints on an interface (IN and
OUT).

BitPim automatically accesses USB on Linux.  (In fact you can't prevent it
from doing so :-)  There is some useful documentation starting at
http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/testhelp/hoto-usbintro.htm
