I had that problem, too. But I figured out a work-around. You just have to sync your data in small "chunks". In Addressbook, create a new group called e.g. "sync". In iSync you will only sync this group. Move a couple of contacts to this group, sync it, move some more, sync, etc. Do that until you synced all of them. Once finished, you can set iSync to sync all your contacts.

Do something similar for iCal data. Sync just one or a few calendars at a time and restrict the dates with the "Options" in iSync.

There are some issues, though. All-day events become events with a duration 0:00h-0:00h, some contacts get duplicate entries of some data (phone numbers, email addresses etc.) etc. The problem is, that this malformed / changed data will be synced back to your mac, when you sync your phone next time. So make sure to back up your addressbook / ical data before re-syncing your phone.

It's pretty buggy at the moment, but I hope, these issues will be addressed either by Apple or SE soon.
Good luck in the mean time…

Yeah, the Sony Ericsson Update Service appears to have (temporarily?) disappeared from the whole support section of the SE site. Doesn't matter which country or phone you choose, the links have gone.

Here's a link to the Update Service I found elsewhere.

Maybe that will work. Although presumably, if SE have removed it - there may be problems...
