Though the dT transfer works well, you can't backup your Contacts, mails, etc (ecept into your phone's calendar or to your SIM acard's data storage. I would truly hope that Nolia would aknowledge the steadily growing .Mac -users. That would be their benefit too.

I've been using Nokia's "Multimedia Transfer" app for several years to sync my N75 with iTunes / iPhoto, and their iSync plugin to sync with iCal / Address Book. It all works like a dream via Bluetooth. I can also use the Mac's "Bluetooth File Exchange" app to manually transfer files; its basically an FTP client with full access into the phone's file-system.

Rude emphasis added by his own volition, no doubt. And now, suddenly when the iPhone is stomping on Nokia sales across the board - NOW they suddenly have had a change of heart and have decided to support their most pricey phones on Macs. Oh, LUCKY US! To hell with Nokia! Buy an iPhone even if you don't pay for a data plan - at least you'll not be giving your money to some company who, until very recently didn't even acknowledge Mac users were on the charts! AFTER YEARS of total NEGLECT of their Mac users who bought (and paid good bucks for) various Nokia products – only to phone their Customer-Lack-of-support and be rudely told “We don’t support Mac’s” by some offshore drone in a third world country half-way round the globe who doesn’t even know what a Mac is – but he read the script as Nokia had written it. Rude emphasis added by his own volition, no doubt.

To hell with Nokia! Buy an iPhone even if you don’t pay for a data plan – at least you’ll not be giving your money to some company who, until very recently didn’t even acknowledge Mac users were on the charts!
