Hi Michael,

I just got my 8800 today, and am very frustrated by the fact that isync doesn't yet support the phone. As I understand it, isync doesn't support any of the Nokia phones that run the 'Series 40' OS. In the meantime, I am trying to copy from SIM to transfer addresses from my previous mobile (which was isyncable).

Good luck, and let me know if you discover any news.

Regards, Andre

Well, I sent my contacts from my PBook to the 8800 via BT...was a longer process but worked fine...however iSync is not a possibility at the moment.
Let's keep in touch regarding any updates. A fantastic and great quality phone none the less.

Will do Michael. By the way, how did you transfer your contacts from your PB via Bluetooth to your Nokia? (Having been so reliant on isync, I don't know how to do that).

Thanks,

Andre

you have to use your BT manager...or actually from within your Address book you can select SEND via BT...make sure BT is on for both the mac and 8800...pretty easy...

Give MacMedia's PhoneDirector a try, perhaps it works, too

Glad to know that iSync doesn't work, before I splashed out on this beauty.

However I am happy that Salling Clicker will be available for it this summer.

Looking forward to getting this baby home, But prefer if it syncs first.

Does anyone know whether iSync is likely to support this phone (Nokia 8800) in the near future?

How does Apple decide which phone to support and which phone to abandon?

Thanks in advance!

I simply send the pics from my 8800 to my PBook via BT, then import.
