Hey Jools
Quick question. I just downloaded and tried PhoneAgent with my s700. Works great. My question is, are they serious about the price. I think it is a bit pricey for a what it does considering, that BluePhoneElite does almost the same thing for free. Not to mention that for just sending and receiving SMS's, the standard phone book is quite enough as well. Your thoughs.

Sorry for being stupid - im a complete novice at this kind of thing..
Ok..
I have a SE k700i and an iMac running on mac OS 9.0.4
Basically all I want to do is use both the above to do some basic stuff:
1) transfer mp3's to my phone from my mac
2) transfer photo's pics to/from my phone
3) transfer video to/from my phone
I'm not looking to update my OS system or anthing like that. Just want to have some fun with pics, video and mp3 to and from my phone and mac.
Which compatible software can I use to do this?
Which compatible equipment/cables do I need? ( I have 2 usb ports free + 1 firewire port)
im not too bothered about speed.. if it takes a few mintutes to transfer each song I don't mind. Same goes for all the more technical applications. I just need to do the 3 basic things mentioned above..
Anyone that can help me out? thanks.
(ps, can I do any of the above by/through email - e.g sending media to/from my phone via email attachments?)

You'll need a SonyEricsson RS-232 data cable such as the
DRS-11 (or third-party equivalent from eBay). You
can't use a USB cable as there are no Mac drivers available.
You will then need a RS-232 to USB converter for your Mac, such as
this or
this sold by Keyspan. This does come with drivers so you can use the above RS-232 cable on your Mac.
Finally, for sending files to the phone, via the above cable & converter combo, you'll need a program such as
GSM Remote.
You'd be better off upgrading to Mac OS X and using Bluetooth though. Much easier and better and allows you to do so much more with your phone.

Please help me with this problem: I was able to sync my SE K700i couple of times with my iMac G5, but not anymore. The problems started after adding .mac service to the cycle. I can send and receive files via bluetooth and iSync recognizes my K700 - but when combing info and sending it to K700 - it hangs. After a while after "Contacting K700i..." and "Cleaning up" there is an error message:
|K700i| Device refused to add a contact (18)
Conduit K700i generated an internal error NSSyncConduitException (Device refused to add a contact (18)): can't close cleanly the connection to the device.
|K700i| Cannot get full calendar from device : an unknown error occured (18)
Conduit K700i generated exception NSSyncConduitException: Cannot get full calendar from device : an unknown error occured (18).
can't connect to the device to synchronize K700i.
- 10.3.7 does not help
- removing device and adding it again does not help
- removing .mac from iSync does not help
ANY HELP APPRECIATED!

Try deleting the pairing from both phone and Mac, then go to:
~Library/Application Support/SyncService
and delete the folder in there (probably called "501"). Restart the Mac.
Then try pairing again and setting up iSync and Bluetooth as before.

How do you setup the K700 as a faxmodem for your BT Powerbook? I don't have an analog line, only cable and GSM. Sometimes, receiving a fax is handy and OS X provides software. I thought it was easy but I haven't found the correct settings for this software yet.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Jools, all, thanks for this forum
mac : 10.3.7
SEk700i Phone
Isync 1.5
ISYNC GREYED OUT HELL
so, don't know if this helps anyone else, but follow exactly what is outlined on page 1 of this thread, but when it comes to selecting a passkey on your phone (that you will subsequently enter onto your mac)...
CHOOSE 1234
not a six digit or 3 digit code, just that 1234. else you'll hit the wall we did.
It's midnight. enough. to think we scratched Nokia days ago for incompatability.

jools,
wondering if you can help me out.
have tried all suggestions posted, but my K700i still is not recognized by iSync.
latest version of OS X, of iSync, etc.
I can use BT fine and transfer files and all.
iSYnc is the only one with problems. have tried removing pairings, etc.
thanks for any help.
* when i click Add Device>Search...it says, NO Device found, though oddly enough, K700i says session completed.

Have you tried initiating the pairing process from the phone rather than the Mac?
If so, try upgrading the firmware in your K700 to the latest (currently R2AE033).

There is a sticky thread for Apple Macintosh and Sony Ericsson issues here:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=52690
It's in the general forum. So anything you need to know about SE phones and Mac OS can probably be answered there.
Hope this is helpful.
