Been using a Motorola Razor V3m for a while... I have Verizon, so I know all about thier stupid limitations, I like to just drop movies, songs (WMA) and pics on my 1 gig card from the computer, then just shove it in the phone and be able to get to them (don't have thier music pacakge with the USB cord, and I don't want to pay for thier downloads)
. So the question is, thinking about a Verizon LG Venus and wondering if I can do the same with this phone...being able to just drop stuff on the card and put if in the phone. I see it's capable of handling up to an 8 gig card...and I'm hoping for better video too... the V3m can only do 25 fps and 3gp format

hope it helps

I have the lg venus.It comes with a usb data cable and I use bit pim to transfer ringtones and all.You can drag and drop pics,sounds,etc on to your card and the phone will pick it up.I had the lg 8300 before I got the venus and reused my card from that phone,all you need to do is save everything you wont off the card on to your pc and format the card for the venus,the phone foramts the card then transfer your stuff back,
BTW.I love the venus

I just found out today how to install free ring tones on it. Use BitPim.

I need some help with the venus, i can't figure out how to get a new alert sound for my mail, i downloaded one from my PC but i can't get it into the ringtone folder.
Confused in Calgary

REad this forum post. Works for me. http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360660&highlight=vx8800

Thanks derrick, worked great!

The fricken nerve of LG/Telus blocking this phone for custom tones

NP, glad it worked.

Just an update... I finally got a new phone...decided I didn't like the Venus cuz it was a slider. Got a deal on the LG Env 2
All the songs from the card that was in my Razor popped right up when I put it in.... but the videos and pictures I had to transfer to the LG's correct directories for the phone to see them.
Also found out...sound-wise... the Env2 has 3 spots for sounds, the Music, the sounds and the ringtones..and (quoting Ghostbusters).."you can't cross the streams'... you cant record yer own voice and use it as a ringtone (I could on the Razr)
Did just find out tonite that this web site still works for me... will take wav or mp3 (short) files and send them to yer phone as a sound mesage, then I have the option to save as a ringtone
