Thanks, NikZane for your advice and encouragement. Also DMA. I must say I feel a little dumb. Fireware: That's the phone's firmware your referring to, right? I've had the phone five days and have not updated it. (I would have to be able to connect it to my PowerBook to update it wouldn't I? But that's beside the point.) I don't know what firmware I have. DMA refers to R4 and R6. I guess if I just got mine it is R6. I bought the phone in Amsterdam, but I am in South Africa. I'll try the SE help line tomorrow, but suspect they will not be so helpful with Macs.
My BT devise info says the following:
Device Name: Simon's phone
Device Address: 00-0a-d9-e8-9e-f3
Device Type: Phone
Device Services: SDP Server, Bluetooth Serial Port, OBEX Object Push, OBEX File Transfer, Voice gateway, Dial-up Networking
Paired: Yes
Favorite: Yes
Connected: No

GOT IT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!
I've been trying for the past month or so. Here's what you need to do:
1.) Install P900 Manager.
2.) Setup BlueShare in P900 Manager. Activate sharing just once Not sure why this works, but it does.
3.) Do everything it says on this page (if you haven't already done so in other attempts to get this to work.)

P900 Manager is a pretty cool app. I can't wait til he gets the other planned functions working. I recommend you buy it. I'm going to in a few days.
Let me know how it goes!

@all here
While Esato is a pretty good forum for most SE problems, I would recommend that you spend more time over at the Apple forum:
http://discussions.info.apple[....]14@238.FcuLa5nZrlg.1@.599cf152
to get a better idea about the problems that others are having with iSync and the P900.

Sorry, I haven't been keeping tab on this thread. So what's the latest firmware for the P900? On SE's online update site it says "for CDA162003/8, the latest organiser version is R5B02", which is for my P900, and that's what I already have. As I've mentioned before, I've updated my firmware twice through the update site and didn't have any problem since using iSync. (Although I do have to turn Bluetooth off and on again to get it to work.)

So i had syncing problems with my Ericsson p900 as well. I'm syncing from Entourage using GoBetween (but it's not the problem). I can get contacts to sync, but not the Calendar and Tasks. Here's the error:
|Pete P900| There was a problem syncing Pete P900. Try syncing again.
Conduit Pete P900 generated exception NSSyncConduitException: There was a problem syncing Pete P900. Try syncing again..
can't connect to the device to synchronize Pete P900.
The last time I tried to troubleshoot this a few days ago, I re-paired the bluetooth devices. That did no good. The bluetooth connection is definitely working because I can do a file exchange and more importantly iSync syncs my contacts just fine, but not my calendar and tasks.
First, I tried disabling the keypad lock. No luck. I then re-enabled it.
Second, I tried turning off Salling Clicker's listener from the p900 side. I then turned on the listener again.
So then I did the steps DMA recommended earlier:
1.) Install P900 Manager.
2.) Setup BlueShare in P900 Manager. Activate sharing just once Not sure why this works, but it does.
3.) Do everything it says on this page (if you haven't already done so in other attempts to get this to work.)
http://chrismiles.info/mac/tips/addressbook_p900.html
Then I tried to sync again. Still no go.
So the last few days I found some .plist file on the net that goes in to Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > SyncService > 501. But I just over-wrote it with the file I got from here:
http://homepage.mac.com/jasonlcarlton/share/FileSharing14.html
I downloaded just the mandatory file and the instructions and did those. Then I synced again. It STILL didn't work.
So i downloaded the two optional files from Brandon's instructions. I put them in the 501 folder as well and re-synced. Still not working!
I then followed these instructions:
http://homepage.mac.com/sspence/
It was mostly the same stuff, however in editing this file:
/System/Library/SyncServices/SymbianConduit.bundle/Contents/Resources/SupportedDevicesInfo
I had to change the value to BVP900. I made sure to restart iSync, then tried again, and failed again!
I then continued with sspence's instructions. I started the Address Book app on my mac, and clicked the Bluetooth icon in the top-left. It prompted me for a BlueTooth password, like when you setup pairing. I re-started iSync and tried syncing once again. It didn't work.
Then from iSync, i "Reset All Devices", which forces a sync after deleting everything on the p900. The sync failed at the point it tried to sync the calendar, and failed with a blank error message.
I then synced again, and got a lot more error messages!
|P900| Could not connect to P900. Please check the pairing with this computer.
Can't synchronize contacts to P900: device is not available
Can't synchronize calendars and To Do items to P900: device is not available
An internal error occurred. Please try syncing again.
Assertion Failed!
Expression: fdoRet != fdo_e_database
File: Source/SyncEngine/FDODriver.cpp
Line: 411
INTERNAL ERROR: unhandled error (Assertion failure: File Source/SyncEngine/FDODriver.cpp, Line 411: fdoRet != fdo_e_database).
I synced again, and i couldn't connect to the device at all any more for the contacts (much less the calendar). So I rebooted both devices. And synced again. It still wouldn't connect.
I had to remove and re-plugin my bluetooth adapter in to my mac, then it synced my contacts. Then, a new error message!
INTERNAL ERROR: unhandled AOS error (Could not find isam keyno request).
iSync's internal database has become corrupted. It is impossible to continue syncing. The database has been reset, but you must now re-synchronize all of your devices. Please try syncing again.
So I re-synced. And unbelieveably, it worked. And after all this, i don't know what the fix was. The only thing I can gather from this last few steps is that when I did the "Reset All Devices" it cleared the db on the p900. Then my isync db got corrupted, and it emptied it. After both were cleared, the sync worked!
So my advice, follow the instructions from Brandon, and "Reset All Devices" and then see if it works.
Hope this helps someone else. I've spent hours and hours on this. I hope Apple makes this easier in the future!
Below is the list of things I didn't do, but were on my list to try if I couldn't get it working.
-------------------
de-install salling clicker
Set the P900's Cable settings from "PC connect" to "Modem".
Re-install isync
