For anyone else waiting for an iSync plug-in for the Nokia N97 mini, to enable Mac syncing, note that Jim @ Worded Wonders has produced one, currently best described as in alpha status, see his blog post about it here. Comments welcome if you've got time to try this today. Of course, if Nokia could just put in 10 minutes effort and do an official one....

Read on in the full article.

Fame at last!

Thanks for the link Steve. I'm hopeful this will work for everyone, it's very similar to the N97 plugin but minus the USB sync although I hope to have this included later on today.

Hey Steve,

This is your chance to shut up the mouth breathers (me included sometimes) that say you are biased. You can use this very forum to call out Nokia and point to the fact that it now down to basic users coming to their rescue and providing iSync plugins. This is simply mind boggling that Nokia has not stepped forward to address this issue. Or maybe you could simply warn all Mac users not to purchase Nokia products as it does appear that the Mac community is not seen as viable or resource worthy in Nokia's eyes.

I'm also a Nokia and Mac user, but have you looked on the Ovi Downloads recently, Ovi Sync for Mac is coming soon. So maybe Nokia are not wasting resources on individual iSync plug ins when a full suite is on its way (sometime).

It's been coming soon for a while, I'm not holding my breath!

Nevertheless, this would take Nokia literally 10 minutes to produce so hardly wasting resources.

V0.9 has been released with an N97 Mini icon and (hopefully) USB syncing - this is untested as I have no USB cable to hand!

Hello,

we have just updated our iSync plugins to work with N97 and N97 mini at:
http://www.novamedia.de/en/mac-isync-plugins.html

We have tested these plugins, and they are commercial although not expensive (But there is a free plugin for the N97 on Nokias site, don't forget).

Kind regards,

Jan Fuellemann (nova media)
