finally sync'ing Nokia 6820 & OSX w/iSync


By jeremy - Posted on 23 June 2006

In my effort to be able to use my cell phone as my PDA I bought a software package from Susteen that claimed to be able to sync a 6820 with OSX. Well that quite simply didn't work and the amount of time I spent dealing the tech support extended me beyond the 30 day return policy so I'm now stuck with software that doesn't work with my phone. The cables might come in handy but not $80 handy.

I remembered a way to sync the 6820 with linux and was googling my way around and stumbled upon that Apple upgraded iSync to support Nokia 6820 via bluetooth. It is slighly annoying that I need to enable bluetooth when I need to sync OSX with my phone and then later disable bluetooth. With all first time syncings there where a few problems but I was importing several hundred contacts and calendars entries so a few problems where to be expected.
