1) The "property list editor" you mention is part of the Apple Developer Tools CD, which isn't usually supplied with a Mac, you get it from the Apple Developer site at:
http://developer.apple.com/
You register for free and download the CD image (300mb) and the Property List Editor is part of that. There's also a shareware app that does the same here:

2) Can't help with this one I'm afraid... I don't have a P800/900. Can you borrow another brand of BT dongle from someone to see if it helps?

Hi everybody,
Sometimes it's hard to know if the many USB Bluetooth dongles that are on sale are compatible or not with OSX... Well this site,
http://www.osxcompatible.free.fr/, allows tou to check which accessories are compatible or not with your system.
The site is in french but I suppose you can quite easily understand the commentaries. It's consumer-made too, so if you want to add your own device you are welcome...
By the way I made some /// t39 icons for OSX, if you are interested just send me a PM.

Thanks Guys,
Just gone through the 17 page workaround on macosxhints and lo and behold.... it works!!!
Ecstatic is too mild a word. Can now sync iCal and Address book. Discovered that the telephone dialog box that pops up when someone calls now recognises the numbers and i can answer/ reject etc. I can also dial out using it.
I can't get my jabra 250 headset to connect tho. Tells me 'your hardware does not support headsets!' is this peculiar to my macally dongle or is it the same with all/ most?
Unfortunately i still cannot sms. Has anybody any idea of how to? From everything i have read it looks like this is never going to be possible on the symbian os.....
The contract on my p900 is up next month so maybe a new se phone is on the horizon (are there similar problems with the p910 or k700??). A shame really because i was finally starting to really get into the p900 (apart from the stupid bloody email client that cant accomodate hotmail [but that's really my problem for using such a crap service in the first place tho!])

I am a bad poster. Thanks Jools. Apologies for not referencing properly.....
Any thoughts anybody on the sms issue. Has anybody ever managed to get it working seamlessly with the 800 or 900? Is the p910 the exact same? are there any se phones that have all the requisite calender/ address book/ email/ blah but that can and do sync perfectly allowing you to do all the phone/ sms stuff?
Will Penfold be saved by Dangermouse from a dastardly death??

Hey Glenn,
None of the Symbian phones can connect to send SMS's via the phone book, if this is your issue. It has to do with the operating system of Symbian and the way it sends the AT commands. Jools, back me up on this. This is one reason why I switched from my P900 to the s700. While I do not send a multitude of SMS's via my Mac, I do like the option to do so.

Yep, as far as I know that's correct.
The P800/900 series phones don't have the required support in the OS for SMS'ing. Seems kinda crazy when 'lesser' phones such as T68, T610, K700 etc. can do it...

Hey Jools,
What do you think of Phone Agent? I have played with it but can not bring myself to pay $29 for it. Have you used it and do you think it is worth the money?

I purchased
PhoneAgent almost the day it came out for use with my T610. At the time it was the only way of making themes on a Mac without resorting to Virtual PC. I bought it mainly for that feature (and then never actually got around to making many themes!).
To be honest, after buying it I've hardly used it! It does have ALOT of features and the author has obviously spent a great deal of time on producing a very polished product.
I've used it to back-up SMSs from the phone, but since started using
BluePhoneMenu which is free (and since been superceded by
BluePhoneElite.
I've also used it to back-up the phone book and notes. I've never used the SMS or MMS writing facilities or the file transfer - the built-in Mac OS functions are fine for me.
So, in all, it is a very good product, but I certainly haven't got my money's worth out of it. I don't regret buying it because the author has always been very helpful and I wanted to support his work, and I guess its my choice not to use it!!
