How does one get Moto Phone Tools? Do you have to root your Droid to install it?
Edit: I meant Moto Phone Portal.
The purpose of this app (as with MyMobile for WM) goes well beyond send txts or emails... it allow you total device control via your computer. So you can use your computer to setup your device (e.g. customize your screens). So if you are making your own ROMs and/or doing other configuration changes (i.e. using the SDK) you now don't have to switch (physically) to your phone to do certain things. This also allows you to quickly switch between your phone's screen and whatever else (say an online tutorial) that you're viewing on your computer.
It doesn't seem like much but after you have used such an application (i.e. most of us WM users). Hard to explain for those that haven't used it.
