I thought you meant when you said you are waiting for the next mac os to support your phone natively, I misunderstood you to mean bluetooth.
So what you are saying is the next mac os has a phone explorer/phone synching type application included?
I understand about the drivers by the way. I have several machines, all of which used to be on sp1, most of which are now on sp2. What I meant was on the machines which have SP2, I can just plug in my adapter and pair, without need of oem drivers. This is great if I'm onsite and need to copy photos or data to or from my phone to the customers network.
On puters that don't have sp2, yes you need to use the oem drivers. Re: the driver cache, like it or not, that's the way MS deals with oem equipment. I don't know if I believe that OSX will support every single BT adapter ever made anyway

Hey Max
I will be fair, OS X has a few problems here and there, but for me to switch from Windows to Mac was based purely on security. The other benefits were gravy. You have encouraged me to do some research and to see which is the better buy. As you said, it sort of depends on the situation. I do however feel that if the U.S. Navy will switch out Windows Server and go with Mac X-Servers is quite significant. Not to mention, the German government dropped all Microsoft products in gov't offices. Microsoft heard this and flipped out. They sued the German gov't saying that it was not looking out for the good of its citizens. The EU laughed them out of court.
You also have me thinking about that G5, dual processor.

Can someone help me with Phone Agent? I have it installed on my Mac, have not regestered it yet because I want to check it out first. When I connect my Z600 everything works fine until I disconnect the Z600 through the Phone Agent software. Then the issue starts, I try to turn off the Bluetooth on the phone, but it will not let me, it says Bluetooth is in use even though the phone is disconnected through the software and the software is closed. I usually have to power the phone off and back on to break the connection, is that normal? or is there some other way to disconnect?
If i am in the wrong area, sorry, still new to Esato

Correct area. I have played with Phone Agent, but can not really see the point. iSync is still the best to syncing, but PA does provide some good support. There might be free apps out there that do the same as PA.
As for the BT issue, have you had your f/w upgraded? This might help it.

Hello all,
Apologies if I've missed the answer to this, but I can't find it here, and nor can Apple or SE help having spent an hour on the blower to them.
Have a K700i and a G4 Powerbook (built in BT) running 10.3.8.
iSync is fine. Using the phone as a GPRS modem is fine. The only problem is address book - the options for sending SMS and dialling the phone just don't work. They're there as options once the phone is connected via BT, but they don't work. Any tips?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Not sure if this might be useful to some Mac people:
UMTS+GPRS4MacOS
Connect your Mac to UMTS and GPRS Mobile Networks
Works with MacOSX and also with MacOS 9,8 and 7
Use the possibilities of your mobile phone or PCcard
Robust design and easy to use
Reasonable prized shareware (try before you buy)
What Is UMTS+GPRS4MacOS?
UMTS and GPRS are the way (in large parts of the world) to connect a laptop, PDA or mobile phone to the Internet or your company IP network through the mobile network in a way similar to DSL lines.
The UMTS+GPRS4MacOS diskimage contains all it needs to complete the UMTS or GPRS dataconnection setup on your Mac.
Typically, you also need a Mac
, a UMTS or GPRS enabled mobile phone or PCMCIA card and a connection between the two, typically a cable or bluetooth. Don't forget the servicecontract of your mobile network provider.

Hey Jools,
I tried this. Could not get it to work. I have been using Nova Media's product and it is the real deal. I got lucky. They gave me a free copy because I mentioned their product to several of my GSM operator friends and to some Apple guys.
If you can, download a demo and try it. It is great.

isync dosent see my k700i (R2AE033) anymore
OSX 10.3.8
isync 1.5
When I bought the k700i everything worked fine with isync.
After 2 weeks isync started to produce error messages and didn sync anymoe with my k700i.
Then I removed the k700i from isync and tried to add it again.
The following happens now: the phone produces the message "session completed", as if a sync session was completes successfuly. isync is saying "no device found".
I tried to delete the corresponding preference ect files (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.isync.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and ~/Library/Application Support/SyncService), removed the pairing on the k700i and on the computer and re-paired from the phone and from the computer. Without success. As well a master reset of the k700i didnt help...
Now Im asking myself what I could try next. Is there anyone with a similar issue who knows how this could be solved?
Thanks for your contributions!

and the (as it seems to me only) answer to my above mentioned isync problem is is indeed the following:
1. remove any pairing info on the s700i and the mac
2. initiate pairing from S700i.
3. Once paired, start iSync.
4. Options to sync address book, calendar etc will appear ( should have 3 options)
The phone should appear in iSync.
(I am citing the solution posted by 'encro' in 'K700i R2A033 and iSync/OSX.3.7 issues' in esato.com) Thanks encro!
