Phone-PC transferring help

So I have a Verizon LG VX8100
( http://www.mobiledia.com/phones/lg/vx8100.html )
and the CD that came with it, I think, only gives me drivers to install.
4chan, do I need to purchase software to access my phone's fullest potential or is there something I'm missing?

yes, they did it on Mythbusters

This is true I watched that episode.
