Re: Mac compatible mobiles

The very large majority of phones are Mac compatible.

Re: Mac compatible mobiles

There are iSync plugins for pretty much every type of phone you can think of, so syncing isn't an option. Sometimes the plugins are provided by the manufacturer (Nokia provide it for a lot of their N series phones) and sometimes it's provided by somebody you'll find on the internet. Either way, support is there

Bluetooth is bluetooth, so you'll always be able to send and receive data.

And if you find a phone that supports mass storage mode when you connect it via USB (many do) you'll be able to drag and drop files onto and off of it no problem too

I change phones at least once every other month and I've not yet owned a phone that I can't use with my Macbook

Yes but if you look on the isync help for compatible phones the k810 , k850 etc dont appear.
I also down loaded a plug in but could not get it to see my old k750.

I need to look a bit further although the Mrs thinks I spend far to long on here and money he he
