Does anyone know if tweaking this will allow the Siemens D500 to sync?

This is the same fix for the Siemens S66 phone.

Since I'm currently in the market for a new phone, could someone please confirm that the S65 correctly syncs Address Book, Calendar and To Do Items (but not Address Book Pictures?) like mentioned on Apple's iSync Devices page?

Thanks,

I just received my first mac this week (powerbook, tiger) and I tried to use isync with my S65 cell phone. I followed the steps mentioned above, but still could not select the 'isync' option after I set up the phone with bluetooth. Any ideas??

Okay, I tried the above hint, but I have a Vodafone branded S65. Updating the firmware to have a "vanilla" S65 didn't work out, so I am stuck with the Vodafone one. In the firmware data the model is shown as "S6V", but even when I change the keys to "S6v" the iSync app still says "iSync not supported for this phone"..

anyone?

This tip is awesome, it worked no problem!
Just GO Connect to folder:

/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/

and edit the file Metaclasses.plist
and you are home free. All the contacts sync perfectly. I am trying to send SMS with Addressbook but this needs some tweaking too.

Cheers.
