sexybeast: I am currently developing a number of different modules using the P900 manager app. I'm looking at backup, file transfer, sms and mms technologies, amongst many others. Eventually, I want to be able to surpass the features of the PC suite for windows. Keep in mind that this is an initial release and keep your eye out for cool updates in the near future.
stewart01: I am currently working on all of these features, in fact, and hope to debut them in a version of P900 manager soon.
dBAGZiq: Yes. Technically, all of P900 Manager's features shold also work with the P800 generation of phones. Bluetooth Internet sharing works seamlessly on the P800, but as I do not own one and havent quite researched the capabilities of this device, I don't know about the other modules.
Let me know how you go.

I get my p900 tomorrow and can't wait to try this product. In terms of future development, I saw a post here about using my laptops mic and speaker to use as my phone while connected via bluetooth. Great idea

I hope you don't try to implement backup over BT... that would be extremely slow... that Serial connection Masqrading as USB on the P900 will be signficantly faster..
P900 Manager app uses mRouter, you know, that framework that prevents iSync to work reliably. therefore, if you have problems with iSync, you'll have problems connecting to P900 Manager, unfortunately.
Each time I want to use either, I have to delete the pairings of both the Mac and phone. Only then will iSync or P900Manager connect to P900.

pacificfurn: Coming soon.
stewart01: Backup is stable in the latest development build, and there is an option to either use BT, or the Sony Ericsson Sync Station that comes with your phone.
As for mRouter's issue with iSync, that is a problem with Apple's iSync software. I dont see how you think I can implement bluetooth internet sharing without using that part of the symbian framework. It's not possible : mRouter is the bundle which enables this type of communication.
As far as i'm concerned, there is still a lot of work that Apple has to do in terms of Bluetooth support and development on OSX. Hopefully Apple can resolve this issue in the next release of iSync, or even update the frameworks in Tiger (10.4).
If you would like to discuss this issue further (including why this occurs) please feel free to email me on
blargsoftware@jeddawignall.com , and ill be happy to answer any questions you may have.

If you implement USB backup, that'll be absolutely great.. no more Windows backup.
I thought the connection problems with iSync were down to mRouter... but you know more than I do regarding that.
Thanks for the reply.

Hello Stewart1 and Jedda,
I think that you may be incorrect here Jedda about the mRouter being a problem of Apples. mRouter supports OBEX over HTTP over BT and this is a proprietary solution that only SE implements. Nokia uses the much better SyncML over BT, so in this case SE via Symbian must decide on which protocol to use. I provided the link above as a starting point to see where I am coming from. Also, because mRouter is used, firewalls must be configured on the Mac platform to allow communications on port 3004 and from IP addresses, 169.254.0.5. In my opinion, this entire problem in no ways solely the property of Apple.
Additional info about this can be found in the Apple discussion forums. Look for posts concerning the Nokia 6230, P900. Also look for posts by a gentleman names: Alexander, Sapporobaby, or Andrea.
Regards,
Don

any chance that you could make a module that will copy mms or sms into mail.app? the possibility of non recovering my smses is the only thing stopping me from reformating my p900!
is there also a chance that its possible to implement a way of conecting the mac to the net through the phone?
heck, i would pay the shareware fee five times over for those

on first run this does everything it says on the tin but at beta stage.
why do i say that ?
well it crashes a lot for me on the tone maker. (after changing files)
i will be paying for it as soon as it is a bit more stable
- like to see the 'pick a starting point' for the 15 sec tone cut gets implemented..
- love to see a method to do a firmware upgrade on the mac...
- like to be able to use my usb->dsl as a nic for phoen to internet ...but what do people use this for ?
over all its pretty cool.
nice work !

When selecting a music file, you can choose a graphic instead which will get displayed on the lower half of the P900 Manager!!

Jedda, I've noticed (on my system at least) that after I've shared my internet connection (wifi Powerbook to P900 via BT), my Mail app has trouble getting online and therefore can't access my email. Before I've shared internet connection, Mail can get my emails without any problems. Can you check on this?
