Cingular 8125

Has anyone ever used this phone? How does it work with macs? Or if you don't know about the phone, how does windows mobile work with macs?

Thanks,
Jayson

I don't know about the phone, but my experience with WM5 is that it works fine in terms of bluetooth connections to OS X, but you will need this software:

To be able to sync calendar or contact information. The 8125 is on the supported device list. It was just released a week or two ago for WM5 -- I actually don't have it yet.

Actually, I just downloaded the software as an upgrade from my earlier Palm OS edition for $19.99. Worth every penny. Setup is quick and the sync is pretty seamless via USB. I'm just having a problem getting the Macbook and the 8125 to talk. I enter the passkey in the 8125 and the computer says it's connected, but the phone then asks me to set up the connection as a serial port. Gotta figure this one out.

I have the Tmobile MDA which is basically the same thing but in a different casing, and it is a great phone. Out of the box OSX is not supported in any form. It doesnt even mount. I have yet to buy missing sync, but alot of people from the HowardForums have said it works wonderfully.
