Samsung FlipShot SCH-U900

So... I'm looking at this phone as an upgrade if I switch to Verizon since my current AT&T contract is up. I like the camera feature and the music player. But I am wondering what kind of software might be available for syncing this phone with my computer. According to VZW's salesman, the USB cable, along with any software that VZW has anything to do with, is only used to transfer contacts, music and pictures back and forth between phone and PC. But I currently have a Razr and I have been using some software from Avanquest for years now to sync my contacts and calendar with my Outlook, transfer pictues, make ring tones... and this is the big one... send text messages through the phone from my computer when I type them in on my PC's keyboard. Is anyone familiar with any software (third party or whatever) that is available for this phone that can achieve these same features, especially the texting one? Thanks guys!
