I need a powerful phone that does everything the iPhone does but is smarter than the iPhone (like the P1i)... Unfortunately flawless sync with Apple is a MUST for me so I was wondering if the p5i will play nice with iSync or if the versino of Symbian it runs is one of those that cannot be synced with Apple... Thanks

If its not working it would be Sony Ericsson's fault. It should be a 10 min developer job to code a iSync plugin via FREE Xcode development tools as they know the device down to kernel sources.

My brother has P1i and as far as I know he synced his phone fine with Leopard 10.5.2 but I am not sure about p5i. At worst case, you would buy a cheap iSync plugin (third party) and it would work. If you have minimal development expertise, writing your iSync plugin should be easy and you can even sell it or ship it free via versiontracker 😉
