Sorry to hear Harald. The sonyericsson site even has a stupid flash-animation that shows the P800 syncing with a mac (through a cable)... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
Well, the P800 is not listed as a supported phone under iSync. I think if it were as simple as tricking iSync into thinking the P800 was a T68, Apple would have included support for it.

You mean like dock pinning in OS X v 10.0?
Or translucent terminal windows?
Hence the word "hacking" in the title.
I know for a fact (a real live genuine fact) that there's a build somewhere that works with the P800 ... I also know for a stone cold FACTY FACT FACT that the basic sync protocol underlying Sony Ericsson's devices -- or rather the implementation of SyncML is identical.
A hack will do it, I tell you.
(That is if there's no voodoo with the P800 Bluetooth implementation as I begin to suspect).
Jack, a hack MAY not do it. In fact, there's mounting evidence it won't (a very interesting thread on Apple's dicusscion boards which point to the bluetooth on the P800 being fukced).
However, it ain't the case that stuff that's simple to do necessarily has a simple way of doing it in OS X. I'm surprised atcha!

You can actually plug the P800 (did I mention how yummy it was?) into a USB port. Still won't bloody work.

So you're conceding that perhaps a hack might not do it
:
does the p800 have bluetooth ?

Defiant, yes it does.
