A lot of what you can access is determined by the programming from the carrier. For example, My Motorola on Verizon is made completely brain dead by Verizon. They want me to use their network to transfer pictures to my computer and only want their ringtones on the phone. Both capabilities cost money, of course. When I first got the phone, I couldn't get it to do anything over Bluetooth and only a few things after much effort via direct USB.

After seaching the Web, I found the keys to break into Verizon's firmware and was able to transfer pictures via Bluetooth. A year or so ago I got DataPilot and opened it up all the way.

By the way, Harry, DataPilot supports several of the Katana models. Go to the list of supported phones and search on "Katana."

My contract is up early next month and I'm looking to switch carriers. Damn, I hate these companies because they don't have any prices on their Web sites and won't tell you anything over the phone. (And... no... I do not want an iPhone!)
