Sony Ericsson M600i and iSync


Since my old Nokia 7610 died the other day I had to get a new cellphone. I decided to give the m600i from Sony Ericsson a shot, because

  • It has the right size (10x5x1cm)
  • It's a smartphone with Symbian (UIQ) on it
  • It has a large touchscreen
  • iSync works with virtually ANY sony Ericsson Phone (When I got the 7610 two years ago, it did not work with iSync, but all the Sony Ericssons)

and even though it does not have a camera. I have received it today and it's really nice, BUT: iSync does not work with the M600i. How pathetic is that? I know, there's windows in parallels, but come on... I am disappointed and hoping that OSX 10.4.7 will introduce compatibility.

However, to get you up and running with your new M600i there's a quick way to get all your Address Book contacts over to the M600i via bluetooth (discovered over at Dmitry's):

  • Open the address book
  • Select all contacts (apple-key+a)
  • Click "Card" in the menu bar and select "Send these cards"
But still, all calendar events are missing which is a shame. Apple,

Ehm das Problem ist behebbar glaube ich. Man muss da in irgendwelchen Dateien rumschmieren, damit sich das regeln lässt. Mal auf einschlägigen seiten nachforschen. Hatte ähnliches Problem...

What's interesting, we both come to conclusion, that the m600i is a good replacement for 7610!

Indeed, it really is. Apart from the fact that iSync does not work, I think it's the perfect phone.

And the iSync issue is not really the phone's fault, I think :)

I must agree. Except for the slowness when the pen-based input is working. Have you seen that if you turn writing recognition off, the phone response will be slightly better and faster?

The responsiveness during text input or overall? No I haven't noticed - probably because I never turned hand writing off :-)

But I think it works pretty smoothly, I didn't notice it's slow. Then again, coming from a 7610's Symbian nothing really feels that slow...
