Hi all, new to this so hope I havent made a ridiculous faux pax already!! Anyways, Happy Thursday evening all!

I've been offered an upgrade by Vodafone. I currently have a Nokia 7210 which wont sync with my Mac at all - aside from bluetoothing MP3s and Pics its not much cop.

I'm looking at either the S700i or the Sharp 902. Has anyone any experience of Syncing these with my Mac - I'm running OSX. What software will I require. Can I do it all by bluetooth? Will all the functionality work eg. exporting address and tel numbers from my Mac to my phone (whichever one I choose!).

All you tips would be appreciated as I really want to get this sorted soon and am fed up of not having a conclusive back up of all my contacts.

The Sony Ericsson S700i is not currently officially supported by iSync, and you cannot use certain functions such as send SMS in Address book.

There is luckily a patch to sort it out, you can download it for free from here

There are full instructions included and it works a treat apparently (I've not tested it as I don't have an S700i).

Also, read this post:

Hope thats helpful.

The S700i will be supported by Apple soon, although no-one is sure exactly when.

You can also use Sallings Remote Basics for remote controlling your Mac from the phone:

Finally the next link has some useful info too:

This is REALLY usefull information - thanks ever so much. It looks as though I'm settled on the S700i - unless anyone out there thinks that the Sharp 2meg pixel phone can also be connected to a Mac??
