Right, iSync doesn't work with LG phones. If you daughter wants to
resync between the phone and the Mac regularly, not just as a one-time
thing, an LG phone is not a good choice. Stay with Motorola.
If she just wants to get the current contacts list from the old phone
to the new one you have a couple of options.
What service provider are you using, and how badly broken is the RAZR?
If the provider is Verizon Wireless and if the RAZR still works well
enough to establish contact with them, they have a free service to
upload the current phone's contacts list and then download later to
the new phone. Other providers might well offer a similar service.
This is very easy and should meet the specific need you described.
But of course it's of no use if the phone is totally dead.
Your other option with an LG is to use the freeware tool BitPim. This
is not so easy, especially via bluetooth, but it does work. See
http://bitpim.org for details (or ask here if you go this route).

Thanks. She ran the Razr through the washing machine. The only damage
appears to be the microphone. Everything else seems fine. I'll try the
Verizon backup route.
Bitpim looks interesting. I'll look into it as well.
