Motorola v330

From what I've gathered, Motorola/T-Mobile's v330 is essentially a v551 in a different case. Does it automatically sync over Bluetooth with iSync (the v551 does) or if not, does anyone know if there's a way to make it?

Thanks -

I just bought this phone yesterday when I switched to T-Mobile. I tried the advice here (changing the plist, etc.) but I don't know how to do the "clear all" in the BT area of my v330 - as was previously recommended.

Also... I'm wondering if just changing all of the v600 references to v330 in the plist was enough. (???)

I'm relatively new to the Mac -- so I know just enough to get me into trouble. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Got this to work fairly easily... just changed V600 to V330 in the plist file and tiff file as described above from my admin account (not root), repaired permissions...opened iSynch...and it worked.

Now...if i can figure out how to use my phone as a modem... so I can get online anywhere. it gives me the option in the set-up procedure to use my ISPs number..the normal number i use at home... but it always fails when I "dial" from my computer... My phone and computer get linked... but I always get a communication error when trying to dial in.

I just bought the Motorola/T-Mobile's v330 today, and after I couldn't get it to work, I followed the instructions on this thread and it worked right off. The only thing I would suggest to people, is that they make a GROUP in the address book and only drag the people/numbers they want to sync to the phone. It created duplicate entries for every person for email address and phone number which makes you have to scroll through and incredibly long list of names... You can just sync a specific GROUP ... I called my TMobile Group and just sync'd the people/numbers in that group... Thanks a million......

and the T-Mobile guy said it couldn't be done with iSync...HA!

My hat's off to all of you who contributed to this! I recently purchased the V330 assuming I could easily sync using Bluetooth but was very frustrated when I quickly learned I couldn't. After doing a lot of research, it appeared that Motorola was going to make me buy their software to sync with my Mac but found that they didn't have a version for the Mac, only Windows. I had even started the process of returning the phone when I did one last search in this group for anyone who possibly had any luck with Bluetooth phones.

GREAT WORK!!! I applied the changes to the V600 entry and was very pleased with the results. I'm now fully synchronized with my Mac both iCal and Addressbook - VERY NICE!!!

THANKS TO ALL WHO COMMUNICATED SO WELL ON THIS!!!

It works terrificly for grabbing and sending pics.

From your Mac:

1) Choose "send file" from the Bluetooth in system preference (much easier if you opt to show the BT status in your menu bar)

2) Send it

3) Accept it on your v330

From your v330:

1) Go to Multimedia

2) Choose Pictures

3) Select picture

4) Hit the 'Pictures Menu' button between those 2 dots on your phone's menu

5) scroll down and select "move"

6) the pic will make it's way over to your Mac in a jiffy
