Apple iSync has been updated to version 1.1. Some new devices are supported, including two Nokia phones. I hope that also Nokia 6800 will be supported (through the USB cable), but I'm not so sure this will happen. Otherwise I have been satisfied with Nokia 6800. The internal keyboard is the best feature. There are some small usability issues in the current software for the phone, but no major problems.
