The instructions for the updater are for a PC, I have a Mac. Any thoughts anyone? I did find out how to reset the security code... dial *22899.

After running the installer I clicked the install usb driver. A drop down appeared and I double clicked my phone. It then downloaded the latest software and updated my phone. This all took less than 30 minutes. It also installed the necessary usb drivers on my pc to allow it to charge my env3 over the usb. The charger shipped with the env3 is actually a mini usb cable and an adapter. Pull the wire out of the wall plug adapter and it is now a usb connector. I hope this helps.

I called technical support and they acted surprised to be hearing about this issue. Apparently the software on my phone is v4 and they are now on v9! They said the only way to fix it is to bring it to the store and leave it for an hour so a technician could update it. I find this hard to believe... can anyone offer other suggestions to update the software without having to take it and leave it at the store? Also, how do I reset the security code? Thanks so much!

I stopped in a Verizon store recently with the same question and the tech there showed me how to download the Media Manager from their website to my computer. I did the download but haven't had a chance yet to test drive it. I also have an SDcard that fits into USB/card gadget to transfer the pics from my phone to the computer. To save images to a card go to Settings>Tools>Memory>Save Options>Pictures then choose Card Memory. Now all the pictures you take are saved to the SDcard. Re managing pics on the env3.

Haven't played with the USB cable with the EnV but hope this little shortcut helps.

Push phone update and if there is one it will update your phone. I have and en-v touch and there are no updates at this time.
