Mobile phone synchronisation on the Mac November 22, 2007

Posted by Björn in : software , trackback

Tonight I wondered if I could back up my cell phone contacts to my Mac. On Windows I use Float’s Mobile Agent to control my phone. I don’t use al of it, mainly for managing my contacts and calendar and typing the occasional SMS. It takes ages if I try to do that on the phone’s keypad.

I was pleased to find out that I didn’t need any special software to synchronize my Mac and my phone. After I configured the device via System preferences > Bluetooth > Add device, iSync started, recognized my phone and copied my contacts and calendar to Address Book and iCal. That was easy. This probably doesn’t work with every phone, but I don’t care. Mine (Sony Ericsson T630) is supported :)

If I could find a way to send SMS messages from my laptop it would be perfect. Any ideas?
