from what i have noticed, when you mean sync, what i found, i got all my contacts in the fone, then saved them to the sd card, hooked it up, i didnt worry bout the software install, in the fone, If you get the motorola droid, with is pluged in if you go into the settings, and click sd card and storage, and click mount card, which allows you to acess the info on the sd card from the computer, also u can load pics vids, and music.
but look around on the site, i would bet there is a better way, but thats what i found
