I just ordered myself a Treo 650… Aging a little now but it’s my first toe in the smart phone pool. I want IMAP email, Opera Mini and a decent screen. That’s it. I’ll report back!

Did you see? 10.4.6 updated the list of compatible devices for iSync, and the 6820 is on it. Weeeee!

soon you’ll be able to install Windows on your Mac (http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/)and then you’ll be able to instal the Nokia PC suite on it. Maybe?

I have an N80 and I can tell you that I don’t think it’s supported by iSync because Apple hasn’t signed their sync client yet and you cannot install unsigned apps on an Series 60 3rd gen device like the N80. If anybody has gotten the N80 working with iSync I’d sure love to hear about it.

I would strongly recommend getting a Sony Ericsson phone because of its software which is probably the most intuitive on any mobile phone, and supports applications like Salling Clicker and Blue Phole Elite! I just bought a SE K750i and I couldn’t be happier… I ticks all of your wishes including iSync support. It would be the ultimate phone if the feel of it was more metalic (something like the Motorola L7, which has terrible software), but thats just me. The camera is one of the best I’ve seen. You should check out GSMarena.com and Mobile-review.com for some mobile phone reviews! I do recommend the K750i… Its sexy, yet “smart” too! ;)

I have a K750i and really like it. Works very well with the Mac - SE still have the best Bluetooth implementation.

If you are waiting until August then the K800i will be available - the 3G version of teh K750i with a 3.2mp camera!

Looks lovely!

Hi Mark

For what it’s worth I upgraded my phone recently from a Sony Ericsson S700i to a Sony Ericsson K750i and boy oh boy am I am happy bunny. It ticks all your list and adds some more: http://tinyurl.com/55g58

iSync
Bluetooth
FM radio
Camera 2 megapixel
Video Recorder
Photo Light
Music Player (you can make your own mp3 playlists)
Memory Stick PRO Duo? (comes with 64mb card)
Speaker phone (useful for conference calls)
Fit in back pocket
Looks very, very good
Small and light
Makes phone calls as well which is always useful :)

Think I missed my vocation in life as a Sony salesman.

Oh and before i forget I sold my previous Sony Ericsson S700i on ebay for ?100 which has nicely paid for 3 months usage.

This HAS to be a winner!!!

Aaron: I’m seriously considering the Sony Ericsson. It’s not too bad and the iSync support may well clinch the deal. Like I said though, I’ve got another six months to make up my mind, so no initial rush.

I just wish Nokia and Apple would sort themselves out. If Nokia are going to continue releasing series 60 phones, why can’t Apple support them? I’m sure there’s a very good reason why not, and it’s probably due to Nokia’s inability to support open formats, it just pains me that I have to switch from an operating system I’m not used to.

I don’t like change.

I just purchased a RAZR from Verizon which didn’t support iSync. Hacking the plist file to duplicate a phone that I knew worked eventually got iSync working for me. You might be able to do the same with the Nokia. I’ll check out the plist file for phone support and post if I figure anything out.
