New Phone

March 24th, 2005 · No Comments · Macintosh

Since Cingular bought AT&T Wireless, I decided to switch to one of Cingular’s pricing plans with rollover minutes & free roaming. However, they wouldn’t let me use my old AT&T Sony Ericsson T616 with it. I ended up buying a Motorola V551, which was the nicest reasonably priced Bluetooth phone.

I was able to pair it with my PowerBook and browse it using Bluetooth File Transfer, but iSync wouldn’t recognize it. After doing some searching, I discovered that the V551 isn’t compatible with iSync because it lacks Bluetooth syncing support. However, I found that OnSync 1.8 works with it and I was able to sync my addressbook to the phone.
