The first thing you should do is do a search for Apple/Mac issues. This is covered over there. Second as there was no Apple software in the box, it would render the cable pretty much useless except for file transfers. So, to get more info, do a search for iSync or Apple and SE syncing issues. There are several threads there providing info.

You might want to try the following sites:

http://mobile.feisar.com/

http://www.taniwha.org.uk/

Good luck...

There are no scripts currently to make this work. The best bet would be NovaMedia but I spoke to a friend there and until they get a m600i, they can not create the script. Until then everyone has to wait.

If you are saying you want to use your W900i as a modem on your powerbook, thats pretty simple you just need the 3G scripts which are available here

Just add those to the modem scripts and you off.

From what I have heard, there is a problem with the syncing in the new version of iSync 2.3 that will be released. I can not speak for the modem part but iSync will not recognize the w900i.

Only six posts later you finally explain what you want to do. As was stated you need to instal the modem scripts. There is also another way, go to www.novamedia.de and they have a product that is outstanding. I have it and it works flawlessly.
