As your phone is a Windows Smartphone, you will have probably more success using <a href="http://www.markspace.com/products.html">The Missing Sync</a>, as Apple documents in the <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html">iSync Devices List</a> (Category PDA/Pocket PC). @Julia: You can do a plugin for phones that are similar to phones already supported by iSync.

So can I do a plugin for EVERY phone? I have a Motorola MPX200 (Windows Smartphone) and there's no (comfortable) way to sync (so far..). Sounds interesting. So can I do a plugin for EVERY phone?

Steps: <ul> <li>Install my plugin in <tt>~/Library/PhonePlugins</tt></li> <li>Rename it to <tt>MotorolaC550.phoneplugin</tt> (or whatever you like)</li> <li>Repeat your modifications of the iSync MetaClasses.plist file with the file <tt>~/Library/PhonePlugins/MotorolaC550.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist</tt></li> <li>Restart iSync</li> </ul> The better solution would be to modify my Plugin, not the iSync Application – or you lose your hack with the next iSync update. Steps:

  • Install my plugin in ~/Library/PhonePlugins
  • Rename it to MotorolaC550.phoneplugin (or whatever you like)
  • Repeat your modifications of the iSync MetaClasses.plist file with the file ~/Library/PhonePlugins/MotorolaC550.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist
  • Restart iSync

Here's the hack that makes the Motorola C550 work with iSync. I used version 2.1.1. HOW-TO: Open "/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources" in Finder. I modified C350 for this and created a new entry for C550. Use the MOTOE398.tiff icon (rename to MOTOC550.tiff) and modify MetaClasses.plist. Put this under the C350's container. com.motorola.C350 Identification com.apple.gmi+gmm "Motorola CE, Copyright 2000"+C550 InheritsFrom com.motorola.usb.0x22B8/0x3802 Services ServiceName com.apple.model ServiceProperties ModelName C550 PhoneIcon MOTC550.tiff Connect C550, open iSync and Add Devices. It'll show up! :D I can't believe it, my first ever hack in OS X :P So I'll add this: "Hack by Parimal Satyal". Thanks Peter for the help! Alright, thanks for the tips in the original post.

HOW-TO:

Open “/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources” in Finder.

Put this under the C350’s container.

The product ID is slightly different. Here's what System Profiler shows: Version: 0.01 Bus Power (mA): 500 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Motorola Inc. Product ID: 0x3802 Vendor ID: 0x22b8 Do you think I could modify the plugin to make it work with this phone? :o Hope it doesn't require the original data cable, I'm using Sony's.
