Mark/Space ships Missing Sync for Symbian

For proximity-based synching for free, try http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/proximity.html

Combine that with a little applescript, that says:

-- Synchronize the Device

tell application "iSync"
if last sync is less than ((current date) - 3600) then
activate
synchronize

repeat while (syncing is true)
delay 1
end repeat

set syncStatus to sync status
end if
end tell

if syncStatus = 2 then
tell application "System Events" to set visible of process "iSync" to false
end if

... and you have isync updating your phone whenever you walk into range. Works perfectly with my E51, with the Nokia isync plugin. As far as I can tell, this makes my Nokia integrate more smoothly than an iphone :)

(The script has some extra bits that make it wait an hour between syncs, and hides the isync window if the sync succeeded - it may fail if you're at the edge of bluetooth range, for example.)

Don't upgrade to Missing Sync for Windows Mobile 4.0.3!

It broke and stopped working on our machines after the update on June 5, 2008. Today is July 30, 2008 and they still have no idea what's wrong and will not refund the purchases (purchased 12/2007).

Pete at Markspace states that they are still looking into it, but after 47 emails back and forth and having us send them various dumps and logs, no luck. It was a good app while it worked but now Markspace refuses to refund the license purchases and yet can't get it to work...

I don't like the price much, but, it appears it may fix the broken Bluetooth with the Nokia N73. Nokia have managed to break Bluetooth-iSync with Firmware 4.0735.3.0.2 with 10.5. Can't see a demo of the app though.

Once you upgrade to 4.0735.3.0.2, you can kiss the Bluetooth-iSync goodbye (with 10.5). So, if you see this and have an N73, stay with Firmware 3.0704.1.0.1. Nokia aren't fixing it.

Well, Synching isn't the right term used. Missing Sync for iPhone just backups messages in one direction (from the phone to your computer), which isn't really synching.

On my machine it also creates duplicate messages, instead of detecting that the message is already there...

Hm...

I purchased Missing Sync for the TMobile Sidekick from Mark Space.

They sold it, and then quickly abandoned it. My purchase became useless and I was offered no alternative, upgrade path, or support.

I asked them about this state of affairs at MacWorld, and was told not-so-politely to go away.

I will never buy from Mark Space again.

I had Missing Sync for the Sidekick, when I needed support it was some of the worst that I have ever gotten besides what I have experienced from Parallels.

"Proximity syncing"? I'd definitely would like to see in Missing Sync for BlackBerry!

Why would you want this program? Symbian already has isync enabled for contacts/cal sync. You can already send documents over via BT/WIFI/USB. Music also has a sync tool. OK, pics don't get auto sync but again it is trivial to send them over, Call LOG/SMS?

I'm sure this comes as a great relief for all UIQ3 users out there, seeing as how vendor support for OS X is craptastic at best.

too little to late
