Sony Ericsson m600i - iSync

I have recently gotten my hands on the most perfect phone for me; the Sony Ericsson m600i. UMTS & triband GSM.

However, it does not sync with OS X.

I have managed to get it paired with OS X, as well as getting it recognised with iSync, but when the isync app is being installed on the phone, the phone complains that the app installation script is no longer supported (this is a UIQ3.0 phone).

Please, please help. I am replacing my ipaq 4700 with this phone, but I need the address book and the calendar.

Thank you in advance.

Powerbook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

i have the e60 - that serves me quite well. if apple would bring back the newton i would readily spent a fortune to get it. But - i don't believe in devices which are supposed to do everything - being a phone, play 4000 songs, play video, a reasonable size&quality display, touchscreen, show pdfs, make life easier, control your hifi, etc... and being small, run 300 hours on battery and fits in your pocket... thats never supposed to happen - and how boring it would be - imagine everybody running around with a macbook in stylish "wraps", iPhone and/or iPod and using a macMini besides their tv.

So my point is: Apple has open up iSync to allow others to extend it - maybe they just wait until their iPhone has hit the market. But no one is served with 20 different address sync applications. If apples ignorance (just look at the iSync compatibility list - a joke!) is at least good enough to force mobile vendors to keep their stuff marginally compatible to iSync - then OK. But i doubt it.

but i will play around with it and learn - i just dont need to have iSync running with the M600i - but i would love it!

and - i do not love the apple hardware (never did) but the software in it (since the nextstep times)

Sehr gut post. Ich habe gerade gesehen das Sie sind aus Deutscheland.

D-land is schoen. Ich hab fuer 13 jahren gelebt.

Trotzdem, you are correct. Apple really needs to either, "STEP UP" or "OPEN UP". Ignoring customers is never an answer. Maybe a loss of a few market share percentage points will wake them up.

Hope I did not scare you with my German. I do not get to practice much down here in Kuwait.

Appointments are one thing. More important for me are synchronized contacts. I always has to drag an edited contact to the desktop, send it via bluetooth to the phone after i deleted the previous version on the phone. Possible, but not very comfortable. Maybe we have to do it that way becaus it's a business phone - you can't handle it without a lot of work... 😉

You could try to use a workaround solution provided by Thierry Girard in Basel- here is the link:

The work around is for P990 but they have the same Symbian system so it should work fine also with M600.

Hi guys,

I was thinking... wouldn't this work:

Sync your M600/P990 with gCal (Google Calendar) using goosync.com (or similar service).

Then sync gCal with iCal using this program:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24117 (Spanning Sync).


At first I was thinking, syncing M600/P990 with K800/W850 and then sync with iSync, but apparently it's not possible to get calendar from K800/W850 to M600/P990, only the other way around, so that wouldn't work. But I think the above thing should work. I don't have a UIQ 3.0 device at this time though, for testing.

Todays mobile phones don't present a significant health risk as they use very low powers, frequencies that aren't dangerous and have directional antennas that direct all the radiation away from you.
Basesations however are different as they are high power so that the mobiles can be low power.
Also to live "without radiowaves" you will need to get into a lead box or move to the middle of nowhere, and even then you will be getting them beamed down at you from satellites.
