I'm waitinig for my M600 to arrive. I found this company http://www.novamedia.de/sync/ and contacted them about a plugin for iSync and they said that as soon as they get the phone they will start work on a plugin.

On first glance, it appears that an iSync update from Apple may be required to sync this phone. It uses Symbian OS v9.1 and UIQ v3.0, whereas previous Symbian Sony Ericsson phones such as the recent P910 use Symbian OS v7.0 and UIQ v2.1.

You can probably export your contacts as vCards from Address Book (just drag them to the desktop), and then send them to the phone via Bluetooth, in the meantime.

Keep an eye on the following thread at my site for more info:

iSync Plugin for M600i

Also, can someone with the phone and a Mac, follow the instructions here and post the results in the above thread?

cant connect to
http://kinks.ultralab.ac.uk/projects/btat/

so I cannot do the test. I have a mac and the phone.

Is there a m600 app yet that can import multiple vcards file like apple address book exports to the phone. draging single vcards in a big pain as I have over 500 contacts.

Seems that that site is down at the moment, so I've uploaded the app here:

Unfortunately, and inexplicably, Sony Ericsson have not yet released a Developer White Paper document on this phone, so we have nothing to help us!

It appears the AT commands have also changed for this phone too.

From Appleinsider.com

Over the weekend, the Cupertino, Calif.-based Mac maker continued its rapid seeding of Mac OS X 10.4.7, releasing build 8J2126 for Intel-based Macs.

According to tipsters, Mac OS X 10.4.7 also packs a new version of iSync, which includes support for several mobile handsets not supported in the current release (iSync 2.2). One of these phones is said to be Motorola's RAZR v3x.

I know the guys at NovaMedia and they are very quick to add support for SE phones as soon as they hit the market and as soon as they can get a phone to develop and test on. It should be about a week or so more.
*edited on a Mac of course. Mac: There is no substitute*

N82(YES), iPhone 3G, Shure es530, Nikon D300, more stuff. No more SE stuff, why am I still here?

I would be VERY careful with that so-called patch.

It OVERWRITES the original metaclasses.plist inside the iSync application without making a backup!

Hope you made a backup before installing it.

This is not the way to make plugins for iSync. Plugins live in ~/Library/PhonePlugins - well away from the iSync application.

Tried to update my phone via sonyericsson update service but I have no clue where the "c" button is located which you have to press to start the update...Anyone knows which button it is?

Found it, it's the internet button on the side.
