NEW sony ericsson k750i

Having read all the stuff in this thread I still want a K750i but I think I'm going to have to use a PC (shock horror) because doing this stuff to my Mac fills me with dread and at least the software that comes with the phone will do the basics like copy my address book. In fact, I may even just spend £20 and get a SIM card backup thingy and do it that way and give up on computers altogether....

I just connected my new Sony ericsson 750i with my g4 gigabith computer and it couldn't yet synchronize with iSync (Tiger 10.4.1) but I could use the telephone as a remote control for I tunes (very funny), sitting outside on my balcony, and i´m sure its only a matter of time before the will be an update with the nessecary changes so that iSync will work with this great telephone.
Patience will be payed out !

It is not compatible ...
but K700i is ...
look at the list:

its a stupid world
hope Apple will create a Ipod-phone soon ....

little update,
don't think my finder actually mounts the memory stick ... but I do get the kernel panik all the same
also i suffer from deleted entries when I update my adress book on the PB then sync it to the phone

If you have k750i, can you please confirm that you can send SMS massages
using address book? (click on the phone number while CTRL button pressed.)

Thanks, Mike

the adress book recognizes it but when I try to send a message, nothing seems to happen

Just noticed that iSync 2.1 is now available (must have been out only a few minutes!).

It does claim to officially support the K750i. Might be worth updating and see if things are better?

The K750i works with iSync 2.1 - all adresses, iCal-Events and todos synced fine via bluetooth.

The iSync 2.1 (88.0) now loaded tonight I can report that my K750i now appears to iSync ok. I've tried exchanging files too and all seems much better. But, regretably I have to report that I still get a kernel panic attack when I pull the USB lead out from the socket. Even when I ensure all comms channels have been closed down between G5 iMac and K750i (and the memory stick unmounted by dragging to waste bin).
Sad, and I had hoped after such a long time that all would be properly sorted. Does any one else experience the same or is it just my system?

I've just down loaded iSync 2.1 - yes it works much better and recognizes phone, exchanges files and completes a full iSync. But using the USB cable with K750i and pulling the cable out (even after closing all open data channels) causes 100% kernel panic attack. So yes - things are much improved but users must remember to power down their machine if they want a graceful exit!

Does SMS from the address book work?

Thanks

Nice with isync 2.1 but why does appel still have the 8 week limitation of how long into the future you can sync??

Hi James, I just gave it a try - SMS from addressbook did not work, nor did dial from adressbook. It's a pitty, with the K700i there's been no problemo in this regard. BTW both my K700i and the K750i are unbranded.

Even the 10.4.2 update did not fix the kernel panics. Considering that this is a 100% reliable way to bring down any Mac running Tiger, this is also a security issue -- e.g. in lab rooms using Macs.
Very disappointing. My bug report (now filed as "duplicate") is more than a month old.

Yep, didn't work for me either. My K700i worked just fine. Any idea why?
