Nokia overtaking SonyEricsson as most Mac compatible phone?
The 6230...
New today:

- mp3 and ACC
- video playing, recording and streaming

I was eyeing the SE z600, but this seems so much nicer...

err... well yes, like the 15" inch alubook is just a replacement for the tiBook. It still kicks ass compared to anything SE has or is comming out with at the moment...
(not counting the P900).
seems like they are finally getting it.

They have to do more than add Bluetooth for Mac compatibility. They need to support the standards based calendar and address book formats too as well as SyncML for synchronisation.
SyncML is there...
So I decided to go for the newest, most mac-friendly phone available. (check out the machine in the background )
The z600... gonna be buying it next week, will post a review on how it compares to my room-mates t610.

BTW, nokia is comming out with a bluetooth adapter for all their no-bluetooth phones...

Unfortunately, the upcoming Nokia BT adaptor will only work with phones fitted with one of their 'pop ports'. OK, that does cover most of the new ones, but older ones can't use it.
SyncML is there...
But there's more to it than just SyncML. AFAIK, Nokia phones have had SyncML for some time, but that doesn't automatically mean that you sync with a Mac. I can't remember all the issues involved, but I'm sure there's more details in the archives .
Nice phone though . I might have to look at it once I'm set for a handset upgrade...
Cheers,

Ready-to-run iSync with Apple
Sony Ericsson and Apple have been working together to provide synchronization capabilities between Apple computers and Sony Ericsson phones. Now users of Apple computers can synchronize their calendar and contact information with the T630 using iSync, Apple's free synchronization software.
iSync is provided by Apple Computers. The functionality is an add-on and support is handled by Apple Computers. For more information about iSync please visit: www.apple.com/isync.
Circular dialpads...
It's the 6600 and it's my next phone.
nokia phone are way better than sonys...
i have sony t616 and a nokia 6310i
and the signal is sooo much better, the battery, menus on the nokia far better, the next isync nokia phone that comes out will be my last, and somebody can take this t616 for cheap....
Why don't I like Nokia phones:
1) Poor bluetooth implementation.
2) Poor keyboard ergonomics (7210, 7250, 3650, NGage, that new elliptical phone).
3) Tiny screens (any of the series 40 phones).
As it is, the SE T610 is a good everyday phone and my P900 suits me just fine. The fact that SE work with Apple to ensure compatibility is just icing on the cake.

i thought the p900 was just announced, what about size/features/ease of use compared to treo 600??? have you compared both. i would like a phone that can keep my appointments but i guess i could use a phone that syncs with ical, but if i wanted to change the calendar wouldn't i have to use a mac to do it (at work we use all MS pve not used iCal yet) are there phones that sync with iCal?
Honestly, I've never tried the Treo 600 so I couldn't give you any advice on it.
The P900 has been available for a couple of weeks now, but you'll be paying the early adopters tax if you want one so soon after release. Unfortunately I'm an insatiable phone junkie, so I'm always the one waiting at the head of the line.
The P900 syncs with iCal and your address book on OSX, and can sync with Outlook (and I believe Exchange) on the windows side of the equation. I only use iCal to keep track of birthdays, so I can't comment of how robust its interaction with the P900 is. It does however integrate very well with Addressbook.
The T610, unfortunately, does not provide for storing addresses on the phone - just phone numbers and company info.
If you're comfortable with the PalmOS, the Treo may be your best bet.
The P900 still seems like a work in progress - a nice work in progress, though.

The Z600's screen is very very very nice.
