Nova Media iSync plugins allow for more phones

by David Chartier Feb 1st 2006 at 6:00PM

Nova Media has released a plugin for iSync that adds syncing functionality for over 25 more phones from the likes of Motorola, Siemens, Nokia and SonyEricsson. Phones such as the v3i, V3C,%uFFFD some in Nokia's N and E series, Siemens' S series as well as SonyEricsson's W550i and W900i are all iSync tricks up this plugin's sleeve.

Surprisingly, the plugin is a free download, but since I have a phone that already works with iSync as is, I don't have a way to test this out. Mac OS X 10.4.x and iSync 2.x are required. Would any TUAW readers who gave this a go like to sound off?

Just installed the Isync plugin to work with mac OSX 10.4.5 and Verizon Motorola Razor V3c. No luck! When I try to add device to Isync, computer says can't communicate. Any ideas out there? Help would be greatly appreciated.

It recognizes the V3c bit it won't sync.

The timing on this article was perfect. I had just brought home a RAZR V3c and tried to sync it with Apple's iSync. Didn't work.

I then went online looking for a plug in and found one on Macupdate.com. It didn't work either.

I then tried this software, and it works perfectly.

My installation took about 60-90 to complete and the installer didn't really give me much feedback, but eventually a Finder window popped up, showing me their plugin in /Library/PhonePlugins/novamedia.phoneplugin/

I've owned a Nokia 9500 for the last 12 months and stopped using it because iSync did not support it.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.4 and iSync 2.1.1 and I just installed Nova Media's iSync kit and gave it a spin.

iSync now recognises the 9500 and syncs like a charm. It's downloaded all my contacts (including contact photos) and calendars.

I edited some contacts and they synced back to my Address book OK. I also added a new repeating calendar entry on the 9500 and it synced back OK too, although the calendar notes did not appear in iCal, a minor problem I can certainly live with considering.

This is an excellent piece of software that fills a glaring hole in the Apple syncing specturm.

Thanks Nova Media!

There is a hack to do this with several motorola phones already out there. I've done it with the v3c, but it was a bear to get it to work. Works great now, so I don't want to try this one and lose functioning. I have a verizon model, unrestricted use of bluetooth, etc. but some have speculated this was a glitch in the first batch. Anyone had luck with their verizon v3c?
