Re: E71 and iSync

Since E51 isn't much different from E71 - i made a plugin based on the E51 plugin. You can download it here : http://boo.tunt.lv/index.php?zoomzina=899

Just copy this plugin to your /Library/PhonePlugins and iSync will recognize your Nokia E71

restart iSync if it's open

Misleading information by Nokia on the E71 and iSync

I am an avid Mac user and I was debating whether to buy a Nokia E71 or an Iphone but since Nokia stated in their technical specs on the Website that they MAC support syncronization using Isync so I went ahead and bought the E71. See Link (http://www.nokia.com.sg/A41163117)

To my big disappointment it is not compatible with Isync and when I contacted their help desk in Singapore I got a really confusing and not very insightful message:

"With regard to your email, we would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused. In this instance, I suggest that you get in touch with Macintosh to see if they have any software that will enable the synchronization between the Nokia mobile phones and your computer."

When I then called Nokia support desk they kept blaming Apple for the incompatibility which makes no sense when Nokia is the one guaranteeing on their website to providing the connectivitiy.

I am now debating whether to return my handset and go for the Iphone 3G because I cannot wait to not having a clear answer ?

Any thoughts or Insights ?

Re: Misleading information by Nokia on the E71 and iSync

I have recently purchased a E71 and had problem in Sync with my Mac Book Air.

The below mentioned link from the earlier discussion on this site works fine and my E71 is able to sync with my mac air.

I am using it to sync with my entourage calander and address book.

you can download it on the link below :

Re: E71 and iSync

if there is no PhonePlugins then just create it and put unzipped Nokia_E71v1.1.phoneplugin folder in there

Re: E71 and iSync

i figured it out. Its because i didnt have any previously installed Nokia plugin. I went and downloaded the e51 plug in from nokia, then added your e71 plugin and it works.

Re: E71 and iSync

Do you guys find that when you quit iSync and start up again, you'll have to Add Device again?

If using cable, it saves the device for next time.

Re: E71 and iSync

Unfortunately there is a small bug in the v1.1 plugin. If you click 'More Options...' from the iSync phone page, you get a dialog where there are selections like:

[ ] Synchronize only contacts with phone numbers

Don't synchronize events prior to [One week ago]

[ ] Don't synchronize events after [One year]

[ ] Synchronize alarms

[ ] Synchronize all-day events

All-day events become read-only events on your phone.

At least with Apple v3.0 plugin for my Nokia 9300i also the 'Don't synchronize events prior to' is selectable with a checkbox. I did not have any trouble or at least did not notice any errors in synchronization. Also events in the future syncronized anyway.
