Nokia 9300 and iSync 2.2: "Novamedia has an iSync 2.2 plugin which adds support for Benq/Siemens CX75, S6V, S65, S75, SL75, SP65, SK65, SK6R, S66, S68 Motorola C390 and V188 Nokia 7280, 7370, 7380, 9300, 9300i, 9500..." [vowe dot net]

I didn't use this plugin but got my 9300i to sync with iSync and MS Entourage. I found on the net a definition file "Nokia9X00.phoneplugin" to be installed in Library/PhonePlugins.

The sync works fine over Bluetooth to my PowerBook G4 with and external usb Bluetooth adapter by D-Link. However, there is an annoying problem with time zone shifts from the phone to Entourage, which I solved by changing the city definition on the phone. I gather similar problems plague also MS Outlook users with Nokia phones.
