Good question. I had a dell axium but sold it since it did not sinc. At macworld SF, microsoft said they were going to update entorage and add sinc.

I use a Palm TX that I sync with Entourage through Missing Sync. Works fine through USB on the MBP, but I'm still troubleshooting the Bluetooth connection (it thinks the BT serial port is in use).

In order to use and sync a PocketPC PDA with a Mac you will need third party software such as The Missing Sync or PocketMac.

I have not checked to see if these run on an Intel Mac or if there are universal versions available.

I can sync my Nokia 6682 with ISync via bluetooth. It works wonderfully. ICal & Address Book are always in sync with my phone.

Just wondering if I must upgrade to Tiger to use my new 6682 with isync? The phone is not found using Isync 1.5.

So much for technology..Nokia 8800 is not recognised by iSynch as a compatible device.
The software that Nokia provided doesn't even run under rosetta.... I guess it doesn't qualify as a smart phone
