10.4.9 Brings Additional Phone Support

Certainly nice to see more supported. Lack of LG support may be the doing of evil Verison 😛

Glad to sync flawlessly with my prehistoric SE T610 😀
 
The E70 has more or less the same software internally as the E61 so I suspect it will work**. At least, iSync works for me fine, since the update, and I've got a E70 too.

** actually, N70, N80, etc.. they are all Symbian 9.x phones using more or less the same firmware - with a few differences. Calendar I believe is no different from other S60 symbian 7, 8 etc phones ( which is quite lame because it needs an update fast!)

I'm surprised Apple added USB support, I suspect thats got something to do with the iPhone.

Just great.

My hack allowing my Nokia E70 to sync over bluetooth (flawlessly) is now broken after this update (which, for some reason, does not included this phone which is in the same Nokia class as the others that were just added!)

I guess I'll try my hack again!

p990/m600 still not supported

still it's a shame that apple is not supporting the SE p990, m600 models as any other uiq 3 phone. isync is still way outdated; they should put some more ressources on it
 
Since the update isync won't open on my machine, it has a problem with the new plug-ins. Anybody else found this problem?

I'm somewhat surprised that Apple haven't taken the line of

"If you want to sync your phone, then buy the iPhone", and stopped development of iSync.

(*of course iPhone isn't out yet ).

I could sync my SE 800i no problem with one of the third party plug-ins before 10.4.9 but now it's broken.

try removing contacts from your SE...... and then start over?

it wont have to compare contacts, no contacts will be 😉!
 
We should be able to update the supported phones by an 'on the fly' update... It pretty much su**s that you have to update whole OSX to get a little XML file that is compatible with your phone.

Sure, and I really would quit using every apple application. Think again! Not everybody is even able to buy an iPhone as it is not available everywhere.

I'm considering that too and since the iphone is going to sync with itunes this is likely to become true.
but still i think the iphone is not a real business device, so i feel like this is sort of a wrong marketing-strategy not supporting the smartphone line..and assuming that all those people with blackberry, p990 etc. are going to buy iphones..

btw: If Apple did this, it would absolutely stink. But I wouldn't be too surprised if Apple did drop support for every phone except for its own cell phones, partly citing the reasons of:
- iPhone syncs better ( even though there is no reason why Apple wouldn't sync other phones just as well, such as Nokia Series60 etc )
- To encourage more sales of iPhone
- Better 'user experience' - iPhone
- Too much resources to update the growing list of cell phones.

Spot on, the iPhone is not a business phone. All other smartphones are, though.
 
Way Off Topic!

I just saw some of the features and video of the iPhone and I have to say that Apple had better put these in the next iPod. It is time for an update to that UI. It was great 8 years ago now it is time for change. I especially love the way the full screen iPod features/UI looks in the iPhone. I will hold out for ver1 of the full/touch screeen iPod (Gen 6). Even if it is buggy I will cherish it if it can do all of the iPhone's iPod features.

I would also like it to have flash memory, (... a hush falls over the crowd...) 😱 I know I know that isn't enough space... yadda yadda... but I would love to have a device that could last all day while playing music. Maybe 5 - 6 hours of video playback... Not to worried about video playback but the music playback is my big thing. And just having the thing last as long as my shuffle would make me melt into it.

Where's my vPod !! 😡

I think LG phones just suck. I have an LG 325 and I can't stand it! It is the worst phone i have ever owned. It is a piece of useless junk plastic that I don't think needs to be kept around for much longer.

My battery never lasts until the end of the day and i can only make 5 or 6 calls before it hits 1 bar of battery life. The reception sucks and i lose my signal in random and sporatic places, (No it isn't Sprint... it's the LG trust me😡 ) and the thing just SUCKS 😡

I hope no one ever supports LG phones because they all just SUCK ***K

Errgh! There goes my signal again and my phone just died on me.

WHERE'S MY Sprint IPHONE!😀

I'm very reluctant to do that in case it still doesn't work. Don't really want to have to re-enter all my numbers back in the phone manually.

Use the SE Backup application that was shipped on a CD with the phone to back up your phone ( assuming you have a windows machine ).
 
I wish Apple liked Samsung a little more, I have the Trace and it is a great phone, except that it can't sync with iSync. At least I can still transfer files over Bluetooth with it though.
 
Blackberry support

With BLuetooth file exchange, I can't browse my Blackberry 8700, it says that "the device does not have the neccesary services"...
Does that mean this blackberry model is basically useless (my thought), or is it that apple has not supported it fully yet.....

I most certainly don't have a Windows machine...

This really shouldn't be a problem - everything worked fine up to a couple of days ago under 10.4.8 with a 3rd party plug-in. The same thing happens when connected via USB so I don't think it's a Bluetooth problem.
 
E61 address book integration

Have any of the Nokia E61 users managed to get their phone to connect to address book via bluetooth? I try but it just tells me to enter a passcode after which nothing happens!

I used to have the novamedia plugins installed to sync my E61 but I'm since then removed them. iSync works fine!

Any ideas?
