> Using the Sony Ericsson K700 with an Apple Mac
Bookmark topic
I've just tried manually sending contacts to the phone from the Mac OS X Address Book and it works fine!
First, go into Address Book preferences and set the vCard format to 2.1. The phone only appears to support 2.1 whereas the Mac supports 2.1 and 3.0.
Then, simply drag a contact to the desktop, add a ".vcf" extension and send to the phone in your usual way (I used Bluetooth).
It even sends the e-mail, web address, and postal address info.

You can also select all contacts in Address Book, export all to a single file. Then send that file via Bluetooth File Exchange (or IrDA) to the K700. The phone automatically puts everything in place.

My phone accepted vCard 3.0

My phone did actually accept the v3.0 vCard but not all the information was transferred correctly.
If you compare a v2.1 to a v3.0 vCard (in a text editor) you'll see address info is formatted quite differently.
Also, vCard 3.0 sends the contact picture from the Mac's Address Book which doesn't work with the phone, so you end up sending a large vCard with picture info which isn't necessary.
If you check the Sony Ericsson White Paper for the K700 it say's the following:
Basic data formats:
Contacts: vCard 2.1, Calendar: vCalendar 1.0, vTasks v1.0, vTodo v1.0, Notes: text/plain, vNotes: not supported.

My pairing has worked the way you describe too, but not consistently. The way I describe seems to work consistently for me at least.
I also get the temporary freeze in iSync. Not sure what its doing but at least we can sync our K700's until Apple officially supports it.

Do you still have the regular USB keyboard? That may help you pair the phone first before switching back to BT keyboard.

Jools, just bought the k700i and i've got a Apple mac G4. Is it possible to send mp3s from my itunes to the k700i? if so, how?
Also, is usb involved at all or is this a myth?
(my flatmate has a PC is if it's not possible on a Mac)
Your help would be much appreciated.
Nick
