You can't sync it with a mac. Maybe if apple implements it as they did with 7650/6600/etc.. You could use a memcard reader for your pics!

and what about the sms?? how can i get them to my mac?? any ideas?? right now i am using 6230, and use the progrma phonedirector, www.macmedia.sk i can sync everything with that program!! isnt thereanything like that to 6680? it must be something that i can do to get the sms..

I think there are work arounds to transfer images via bluetooth but as for anything else the 6630 and 6680 are left out in the car park as far as OS X goes and that includes Tiger. Hopefully full isync capabilities will be included soon for these phones.

this question doesnt belong to here.. but i have a nokia 6230.. it can save about 90 sms.. 30-35 inbox messages, and the rest sent items messages.. its good, way better than 3310 which could save only 20 together..

my first question is : i read somewhere, that you can save up to 1000 sms on a 6230, but how do you do that? on the memorycard? and how, if its possible???

if i buy this nokia 6680, cant i reach the smss somehow through the memorycard with a mmc reader??

There is a piece of software that does that but it isn't free. It's got a load of fetures but one is this:
"Take entire backup of your contact or sms via Infrared / Bluetooth to other handheld devices / personal computer which is enabled with IR/Bluetooth transfer technology"

MultiTasker

It costs 9$ so it ain't that expencive.
