Adding Phone to iSync in Snow Leopard

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. I want to add a phone to iSync but I can't find any metaclasses.plist file to modify or a PhonePlugins folder in the library. Any ideas?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

HI,

If the phone is Mac OS X compatible and has Bluetooth technology then you can pair it with your Mac.

Open System Preferences/Bluetooth.

Click + and "pair" the phone to your Mac.

Then try iSync.

I can pair my phone using bluetooth, transfer files from the phone to the computer, but iSync still won't work with it. In OSX Tiger I modified a file called "metaclasses.plist" and added a plugin folder to a "PhonePlugin" folder. Both of which seem to be missing from Snow Leopard.

got to applications/isync (right click an choose show contents)/contents/plugins/phonemodelssync.phoneplugin/contents/resources here you will find the metaplist for nokia phones

I can add my Nokia 6320 to isync, but isync crashes when syncing. the is a thread on the discussions board http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10179750#10179750.
i tried it, but it didn't work in my case.
now i use an app called syncmate.
