Samsung phone not for Mac

solution for your Samsung: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/29029&page=6

There may be a similar "free" solution for the Samsung if you google for it.

I can't find anything on the page, do you know its present location? I have a Samsung S5230 that I can't connect due to Samsung's total lack of Mac support.

Having recently bought my first Mac , an iMac 2.8 I am now looking to buy myself a new mobile phone , and have these Two modles of phone in mind .

1 . Motorola W510

2 . Samsung D500e

I want to buy a new EDGE enabled mobile phone to connect my new iMac to the internet
on checking with both the main Motorola and Samsung web sites , I was very superised and
dissaopinted to read that both of the above phones ,from Two very large moile phone manafectures
make this statement on their web sites ..

Motorola does not support software that is Macintosh compatible and our current software is not compatible with Apple/Macintosh devices.

Samsung - Our software is not compatible with Apple/Macintosh devices.

I was hoping just to download the USB drivers for the above phones , allowing me to connect
the new mobile phone to my new iMac. Ive also been told that I cannot connect either of the above phones by buletooth to my iMac due to the same non support problem , and its always better to connect to a computer with a USB cable rather that bluetooth, when using an EDGE enabled mobile phone.


But it seems that both the above Large world wide companys , don't for some reason support
Apple Mac computrs.

How much more .. we don't support Apple Mac computrs will I now find ...

Dissapointed

Talking in millions and billions is too abstract, so let's use some numbers we all still can imagine and relate to: There are 90 people using Windows, but only five to seven who use Mac OS X and about 3 to five people who use Linux, FreeBSD or one of the other remaining (niche) platforms.

And to also make this simple to imagine from a corporate perspective: What is your business rationale to develop software for a platform that less than ten people use? And, to make things worse, is already owned by your direct competitor?

If you need compatibility, use Windows.

I'm sure that advice would've been appreciated a year and a half ago. (When the post was made)

I feel a bit let down

I think you'd should feel let down by Motorola and Samsung for not supporting a widely-used (and growing) computer, not Apple for... well, I'm not sure why you should be fed-up with Apple.

I can only compare this with buying a car that runs on LPG and then getting annoyed when you notice that the majority of petrol stations only offer unleaded and diesel. When you back the underdog, you have to make some concessions.
