iSync 2.2

isync 2.2Reader Johnny W. sent this in yesterday, but it took me a while to verify: iSync 2.2 is rolled into the 10.4.6 update, and it's quite nice.

A while back I had my Motorola V60 working with iSync. See, last year when I got my "new" phone, I bought a $60 cable on ebay for $20 (along with a car and wall charger). This bundle included Moto's phone tools, so I could sync with my PC. About 8 reboots later, it worked! I somehow managed to get it to work with iSync, even if iSync really didn't know what phone it was... but only a few months later, an update killed the connection. The V60 was never listed on the compatible phones chart, and I figured, given the life of phones, it was all over. Yet Apple's official list of iSync-compatible devices has really expanded with 2.2. And there's my lowly V60, along with the PEBL. One big downside appears to be Palm support. Anything with the PalmOne brand is still fine. Anything older now needs the Mark/Space app for Palm to sync. That's so lame I can't even talk about it. What am I supposed to do with my WristPDA now?

isync 2.2 didn't work for my Nokia 6230- it keeps saying that I need to upgrade the phone's software. Have spoken to Nokia and they haven't got a clue about this- of course! Any ideas guys? -emlem73@hotmail.com

Sorry to hear of you guys losing support for the k700i. Keep trying; my k700i works absolutely fine. Of course, I only bought the silly, plasticky thing because it was reported to work with isync. Apparently I can now reinstate my 6230, once I find who I gave my nokia chargers to...

Hello,

I have just installed isync on my Sony Ericsson 910a, well, in fact I haven't. It keeps coming up with KERN-EXEC, Reason 3, when it is 75% through. Any idea what this means. I still have my data but everytime I try to install the file on my phone I get the same message. I guess my version of isync is corrupted. Can anyone send me a copy?

Thank you. David

My Sony Ericsson p800 is not working since the iSync update. Symptons: it always wants to install the iSync client on phone again. Are your symptons similar?

Thanks for posting this! I've been waiting for support for the Nokia 6230i for a while, and I wouldn't have noticed the update had you not pointed it out.

The BEST phone for using with iSync is the Sony Ericsson Z520(a). It syncs perfectly with iCal and Address Book, and the Device Browser works great with Bluetooth.

I highly recommend this phone. It's great! The Cingular version is the z520a, and other services simply the z520.

Yes, really! johnny won is right. How could you have missed this? The big deal here is Nokia Series 40 phones are supported now!
Of course the K700i bug is unfortunate, but I would think that they'll hopefully fix that... My T630 works just fine, like before.

I've got a Treo 600 and have done the update to 10.4.6 and don't seem to have any problems syncing.

2.2 is a bust for those of us who are Verizon customers using the Razr VC3. Brian Toth created a nice installer so that iSync would support the VC3 in syncing with both Address Book and iCal. iSync now supports the VC3, but only with Address Book; iCal support is now broken. Good news for those who didn't find Brian's awesome hack; bad news for the rest of us who did! It may be worth rolling back to 2.1 and applying Brian's patch until the next version of iSync appears...
