It also happens with my v800 as well. I think it is either SE and Mac, or it has to do with the way the drive is dismounted. Only happens with the phone. Not with flash drives, iPod, or my external drive. I am sure Apple will hear about this and issue a fix. Maybe 10.4.2?

Good thing BT works flawlessly with Apple(Mac) and SE. My friend has a Windoze box and BT is basically hit and miss with him. I just smile and connect.

Howdy, all you Apple / SE heads. Thanks for all your posts over the past several months - I've been trawling through lots of it while trying to decide whether to get the K700i / V800 or Motorola V3 RAZR.
I'm a devoted Mac user ( PowerBook G4, OS X Version 3.9 ) and am seeking the most Apple-compatible phone possible. I'm holding off on Tiger 'cos I'm afraid it will clash with some DJ software I'm using and will wait for a few months until things settle down.
I bought the K700i last week. Frankly, I don't like the feel of it on my ear - the earpiece has a sharp edge which is not very well suited to being jammed up against my ear for long periods of time! ( I've mainly used Nokias before, which are always easy on the ear.) The keypad is also very small and quite awkward for texting, by comparison with my Nokia 6310i. I'm probably going to sell it and possibly go for the V800 or the V3 RAZR.
More to the point, I've had plenty of grief syncing it with iSync. All of the issues mentioned in previous pages of this post have cropped up. I've done all the standard fixes and appear to have finally gotten a successful sync.
However, judging by many of the posts from before the Tiger release, my gut feeling is that the whole process is fundamentally untrustworthy - there shouldn't be a load of hassle involved in syncing a phone which is officially supported by OS X 3.9 with my Mac! Maybe it's better to just write down new phone numbers and forget about all this syncing hell! ( I've spent the last ten days obscessing over all of this and am quite disillusioned with all the pitfalls. )
For example, many posts mention inconsistent results - iSync works one day and pops up an error message the next day; frequent instances of haviny your K700i contacts deleted and having to start it all over again; if you input a new contact in your phone, isync fails to pick it up; Address Book entries - Mobile/ Home/ Email/ Website - are not transferred to K700i satisfactorily. Aarrrgh!
Am I being pessimistic about this, or is the whole Mac - mobile phone interface simply not up to speed yet? Would it be better to try BluePhoneElite or PhoneAgent instead of iSync?
A friend of mine has the V800 and says it works flawlessly with Outlook Express. I'm very jealous! As far as I can see, the V800 doesn't work with iSync 1.5 - and evidently, it doesn't really sync well with Tiger either! Oh no! It's all too much!
Does the V800 even work with Bluetooth on Panther 3.9?
I hope this post isn't too rambling or in the wrong place - I'm an Esato newbie and don't want to get things off to a bad start!
I would really appreciate any feedback on all of this.

confirmed fact:
the v800 and/or 802se works natively out of the box with tiger: perfect Address Book and ical syncing each time every time.
10.3.9 does not iSync natively with any mac for these fones.
upgrade to tiger and enjoy peace.

I've been busy today making my first theme for the K750i. Heavily inspired by the Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger' user interface:
A must for all you Mac using K750 owners!
Download as
.thm or as a
.zip.
Comments? Improvements? Glitches? Post
here... not in this thread, please!

If I had a z800 to test on, sure I'd make a theme for it! But there's alot of actual trying on the phone required during theme making - the theme creator isn't enough on its own!

Re K700i/V800/V3 iSync 1.5 syncing woes...
Thanks niji - that's as clear an endorsement of Tiger syncing as I've heard. I may have to consider getting that 'ol cat sooner rather than later!
