Has anybody tested the Siemens SL75 (arguably the best looking phone out there 😉 ) with Mac OS X?

I'm interested in the following:

1) Does iSync work?

2) Does EDGE internet connectivity work?

3) Can you send SMS from the Mac OS X Address book and it uses the phone to send them?

Thanks!

Found it!

Nice, a company has provided the necessary setup updates so that the SL75 will work:

Now I have no excuse not to buy one. 🙂

Truly a marvellous design.

Forgot one...

Of course, it has a slider mechanism that is equally beautiful:

I'll stop salivating now, I promise. 😛

Very nice phone indeed!

My previous experiences with Siemens mobile phones hasn't been great. I've had a lot of problems with the phone switching off randomly with the 2 phones I've owned previously.

It'll be interesting to see how the new BenQ Siemens collaboration will work out. I'll be in the market for a new phone this summer, so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled.
