Finally got annoyed with waiting for my Sony Ericsson m600i to start working on OS X, so I’m shifting it on ebay and I’ve got a Blackberry Pearl on the way. It’s a bit of a shame, cos I still think it’s a great phone, but the point of getting such a (s)wanky phone was to be able to sync stuff with my computer, and that obviously not going to happen any time soon. Grr.
The mac/berry combo seems to work a little better from what I’ve read; I found a couple of things on the internet that make them work together. Here they are:
- iSync via bluetooth or USB doesn’t work, you have to use PocketMac for Blackberry
- This modem script lets you use it as a bluetooth modem.
- There’s a forum here full of geeks complaining about a load of stuff that looks like it might useful.
I should get it on tuesday, and I’ve got 14 days to use it and decide whether I like it or not. Hopefully I will, otherwise I’m just going to get the dumbest phone I can, and a file-o-fax from Rymans. Or something.
