l don't like this, Apple & Motto! I was hoping for more integration and cooperation between Apple and SE, but being both US-based, Apple and Motto are not really into the Euro mobile thinking as SE, Nokia and Siemens.
For me, the two killer features of my P900 are the touch screen and the jog dial. It's gonna take a mighty awsome interface and/or features to convince me. |

OK, got a few issues: Got my P910i, expecting it to be similar to the P800 and P900 I had owned previously. Imagine my surprise then to find that iSync DIDN'T work at all, but address book's bluetooth function did. Never mind, I thought, I'll go and screw around with the settings a bit and see if I can make any magic happen. Some research on google revealed that the P910i isn't officially supported in iSync (Apple's Device Listing) and that there doesn't seem to be much hope in the near future. What on earth am i supposed to do? I have loads of contacts that need importing! I have tried dragging all the contacts to the desktop, thus creating a vCard and then opening this on the P910i. This, however, then says that "the file is damaged" and that i can't use it. I would export the cards to a .csv but you need 10.3 for that and my machine won't run panther, only jaguar. Is there anything I can do?
Other thing is that I have lost the original salling clicker dmg, and can't seem to download it again. I only need the .sis installer for my P910i, so if anyone fancies emailing it to lawrencedudley@gmail.com">lawrencedudley@gmail.com">lawrencedudley@gmail.com then I'd be most grateful. Help will be rewarded with a sync station as I have a spare, as long as I am not the person paying postage.
Thanks!! |

Try changing the vCard format to 2.1 in Address Book preferences, and putting that vCard on your P910... see if that helps!

Officially, not yet. But I think some people have managed to get it to work at least partially.

Hey again! So, firstly thank you to Jools who emailed me the file that I was after, great thank you! Secondly thanks to the person who suggested a different vCard format, that worked as well! No the only problem is iCal... Does anyon have a time-frame for an apple update to support the 910? Would be nice if it was sooner rather than later. |

The D-Link DBT-120 is the one officially supported by Apple with Firmware Updates however, I've yet to find a single USB Bluetooth Adapter that doesn't work on a Mac.
I have two. A D-Link DBT-120 and a Sitecom CN-500 which both work identically. The Apple firmware updates even work on the Sitecom one.
What do you mean by "get the sound from my computer to my phone via bluetooth"?
Do you mean transfer MP3 or AAC sound files? If so, then yes.

He means getting sound from his mac coming out of his phone. The answer is no, it won't work. Sorry! |

I did wonder if that what was he meant, but couldn't understand why anyone would want to do that!
You can get Mac sound to come out of a Bluetooth headset I think... I'm sure I accidentally got iTunes playing through mine once!

Oh, ok, I was under the impression that Audio devices didn't work correctly in OS X. At least they don't seem to in 10.2.8: They appear as phones at first lol. Will play around with some of the xml property lists and see if i can make anything happen. By the way, playign around with .plist files made my P910i work with iSync  it looks a bit weird, as there is no image for the handset in isync, but it syncs just fine. If any other mac user has an iSync problem with their P910i, and it not connecting at all, PM me and I will send you an installer I made with the Dev tools that'll patch a properties file in the system library. |

How do you check whether your Vcard is 2.1 version?
How do you change it to revision 2.1?
Please enlighten.
Thanks.
