Being new to the world of Mac, and newly migrated from Windows I naively went searching for an application or a set of drivers for the Nokia phone. I found quite a few pages pointing out that Nokia hadn’t released any Mac compatible software. It was looking grim.
Then, I noticed a thread talking about iSync. Still, I thought I would need to find a driver for iSync, but I started it up and within a minute had a connection via Bluetooth to my mobile phone, lots of spinning graphics, the phone went beep and all was over – and I had over 100 new contacts appear in my Address Book. Not only was it quick and painless, I have never seen such a good mapping between the phone address book fields and the computers contacts fields.
Since then I have found that to-do items also auto sync between iGTD, iCal and the phone.
Again the promise of being able to just do things without drivers comes true. Still happily dazed.
