Product Description:

BitPim is a program that allows you to view and manipulate data on LG VX4400/VX6000 and many Sanyo Sprint cell phones. This includes the PhoneBook, Calendar, WallPapers, RingTones (functionality varies by phone) and the Filesystem for most Qualcomm CDMA chipset based phones. (Note: you need to use the 0.7 development releases if you have any phone other than the LG VX4400).

What's new in this version:

  • Added full support for the LG LX5450 (Alltel).
  • Fixed SMS Deletion excetion.
  • Added SMS Export to CSV and mbox formats.
  • Update filesystem tab with new look and feel. Supports drag and drop for copying files into the phone's file system.
  • Sanyo phones: Added reading of call history.
  • Sanyo picture phones: On reading camera pics, rename duplicate filenames. This prevents smaller "saved to phone" pictures from clobbering the original "in camera" pictures.
  • LG VX8100/VX-9800: Added the capability to retrieve video files. These files can also be played by an appropriate software player (if installed).
  • Fixed apparent program frozen issue.
  • Fixed Filesystem Backup exception.

BitPim ReviewLong time user here... - Version: 0.8.03, 11/30/2005 12:03AM PST

I have used this product for a couple of years now, since the vx6000 came out, and I love that it is available and most of the time works. It's a little quarky sometimes (probably the python language) but it's free and the developers are always working on it, that's something that is really cool. I use to pay for picture messaging just to save my pictures I took with the camera and this app saved me over 60 dollars. Nice work guys keep up the good work.

BitPim ReviewHas potential, but slow and buggy - Version: 0.8.00, 11/7/2005 08:00PM PST

BitPim can be a great application that could help you tap the power of your cell phone. Right now, it's all we have out there but vers. 0.8 is a step back from version 0.7. Running 10.3.9, BitPim has trouble seeing my phone. I no longer connect via a USB hub but directly to my Mac's built-in USB port and I also have to change the COM port settings every time I start up. It is also slow as the dickens to up/download data. And I can't drag and drop photos downloaded to BitPim from my phone. Finally, I've had BitPim unexepectedly quit, or I had to do a force quit to get it to finally quit. The PC version, believe it or not, is faster, more stable and works better with my phone. I trust that the developer will make improved versions in the future.

BitPim ReviewVX7000 - Version: 0.7.33, 7/11/2005 10:27AM PST

This program has worked out great with my LG VX7000 and I have used it with my wife's VX4400 and my old VX10. It has always worked fairly well and if problems come up there is a mailing list that the main developer is on and helps users with issues. The only thing I would like to see is direct sync'ing with the Address Book. As of now, you have to import the address book and then sync it. Initial setup can be tricky but usually isn't. It is also updated frequently so any problems that may arise are usually worked out quickly.
