Could some one please help me figure out how to use my phone as a modem and how to sync it with already exsisting songs on my windows media player. i have dont alot of searching, and i have downloaded drivers that dont work. my computer says they have been sucessfully installed, but i see no changes. my computer does charge my phone with the cord... but it did that before. and when i plug up the phone to the computer... i dodnt get that little icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen on the tool bar that says found new hardware and helps you figure out what you can do with it. does that make sense? the same thing that pops up when up plug up an mp3 player or something. so i also cant safely stop the phone when i unplug it from the computer. can someone please help? i know it is possible to sync this phone and use it as a modem........... getting frustrated...... id never go with the iphone because i work for att and i hear people complain about them all day... but this frustration with the phone is causing me to consider switching from verizon to att.... and going back to my old att motorla razor and saying screw technology!

Initially it sounds like you have a conflict with another USB Device. I have had this happen to me. As a troubleshooting step, unplug any other device like Ipod or USB mass Torage devices... Just for a test. Install the driver I have given you a link to (Below) and then plug in your Versa. You're right you should see messages in the lower right side of your screen telling you a "New Device" has been detected and the software installed for it. With your Versa plugged in
there are three different modes you can use to transfer music.
1: Music Sync.
2: Data Sync
3: USB Mass Storage Mode
In the Mass Storage mode you can transfer music and or copy files to and from your MicroSD because it looks like just another USB Storage device where you can see all folders and files.
In Music Sync Mode, it should automatically try to launch your default Music software like Windows Media or Rhapsody (Not iTunes) and you can create play lists, transfer music and basically manage you media.
In Data Sync mode you can use 3rd party applications like "BitPim" to manage Contacts, Ring Tones, Calender, and wall Paper files...
You can find the option to adjust how the phone responds when you plug it in, under SETTINGS & TOOLS> USB AUTO DETECTION> ASK ON PLUG. This will allow you to choose the mode you want when you plug the phone into the USB Port. The USB Mass Storage Mode is under "Tools"

From what you're describing, I think it's a conflict with something else. My Versa just plugs in and works... Let me know what happens!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! the problem was with the phone.... settings on usb auto detection fixed the problem.... now what about how to use my phone as a modem?
