Most bluetooth phones are supported in OS X/iSync ect ect, but check APPLES WEBSITE to be sure. I use a Sony-Ericsson T68i and it works great, and I have heard that the Nokia 3650 does too

thank you
I looked at the apple website, and some phones
Thing is i am asking since the quality, size and price matters a bit /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I would like a small phone like my old one, red or pink, with a nice screen, and a way to sync directly with iCall calender with picture address book options /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
If you think you know one like that let me know, i will look around more. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Well, most all phones w/cameras, BT and other useful features will be in the $150.00+ range if you buy the phone outright. But most carriers have good deals on the phones (some almost free) if you are willing to sign a 1 or 2 yr contract.
I got my T68i free at Bestbuy with a 1 year Cingular contract, then I bought the camera attachment for $39.00, and got $50.00 in rebates, so they actually paid me $11.00 to buy it.
As for colors, that will depend on the phone itself, some are available in colors, some have changeable faceplaces.....just have to look for that at the phone stores......
good luck

I've used the Nokia 3650 and it worked perfectly with OS 10.3.2 and Titanium. I've just replaced that phone with the Sony Ericsson Z600. And this too works perfect. iSync takes care of all my iCal TO-Do's-meetings & appointments, and Address Book phone numbers. While on the train commuting internet connect dials the Z600 and I can check email or surf the web if I want. Bluetooth is an amazing thing and I use it daily. And the way the Apple Address Book will dial the phone or send an SMS via the phone without me touching the phone amazes me. And the Address Book opens a window on my computer with whomever is calling the Z600. Wow.
Both these phones are on Apples iSync site approved also.
Good luck

Well, this phone is probably not what youre looking for due to price, but the Sony Ericsson P900 is a fantastic unit. I bought one about two weeks ago and it works flawlessly with the Mac. At times there are weird iSync problems, but those can usually be sorted out by re-pairing the phone with the computer (something that takes ten seconds). It syncs Address Book, Ical, To Do Lists, etc... File exchnage between the Mac and phone is also completely seamless. One of the other advantages is that you can use your mac to install softare on the phone. Since the .sit files that install on the P900 can be installed on the phone itself, you only have to download the software, transfer it to the phone and install it there. Movies and Pictures have to be transferred manually either way. You can use Quicktime Pro to easily create mp4 videos playable on the movie player on the P900. This is the one phone for which I have not really had to use a PC for anything. It is expensive, but if you can manage it, its by far the best phone (with a quite exceptional PDA) on the market.
Also, you could look into getting a SE P800. It can now be had for several hundred dollars cheaper than the P900. The basic functionality of the two units is the same. The P900 has a better screen, more memory, is lighter and a little smaller, and has had some of the initial (minor) bugs of the P800 removed. However, the P800 is still an exceptional phone (with a colorful case ) . Almost all softare availible is compatible with both the P900 and P800 You should really consider one of these. See if you can get a deal on a second hand one on e-bay or something. There is nothing availible that can compare to the P800's overall package (except the P900).

The Sony Ericsson Z600 has a terrible camera, i mean, it takes pictureswith a instant sound but a 6 sec delay., maybe it was my battery since it is new and i need to wait to descharge and recharge tonight.
but its been horrible and there adds look great, very devious.
Can i please ask if anyone has had better experience with other phones with cameras, or are they are crappy like thissuper blurry one ;/ i was hoping that there is atleast one decent 320x640 res cam with good lighting out there, other wise i do not see the point of a camera...
