Litux Wiki : HowToAddDevicesToTigerIsync<\/a>
\nThe above URL, while somewhat opaque was the key.
\nEssentially, iSync wasn’t working with my Nokia 7610 which it is supposed to. I recently upgraded to Mac OS Tiger which is purported to add support for this phone (and many others) but had no luck. iSync was saying that the device is unsupported.<\/p>\n

After searching around and finding many blog entries which showed dismay over this vary subject I came upon the above Wiki entry.<\/p>\n

Following it’s instructions, I realized the problem, Nokia is identifying the phone as “Nokia 7610b” instead of “Nokia 7610” which is what iSync is expecting.<\/p>\n

In order to find this out, I had to download ZTerm<\/a>ZTerm (which I haven’t used since 1996). Unfortunately, Z-Term was my last thought, after going through Fink and realizing that minicom just wouldn’t work (actually, wouldn’t install). And after pairing with the phone through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant I was able to connect to it as a modem and run the AT command “AT+CGMM” which returned “Nokia 7610b”. <\/p>\n

I then edited the MetaClasses.plist file and changed the identifier for the Nokia 7610 to “Nokia+Nokia 7610b” and viola, everything was peachy.<\/p>\n

Finally…! I can carry around my contacts, something I haven’t been able to do since my Palm died 2 years ago. Who would have guessed something so trivial would be so hard. I almost resorted to paper ;-)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
