The first thing I usually do when I start using a new handset is to import my address book. I have over 1500 contacts, stored on the web through Plaxo. This way I can always have the same updated address book in every computer I use.With the other Nokia phones I have, everything is pretty easy with my Mac: you just have to connect the phone to the MacBook through bluethooth, then use iSync to synchronize both address book and calendars (with iCal). With the 6280 it’s a seamless procedure, instead with the 6680 you have to install a little package into the handset and run it while synchronizing.Then, I thought, with the N73 everything should be as easy as the other Nokia phones: I launched iSync and tried to pair new devices. Bad surprise: the N73 has been recognized, but it seems it’s not supported by iSync.After a few shots with Google, here is the solution (it seems it works with N73 and N9x):
In the Finder, control-click on the iSync application and choose ShowPackage Contents. Then navigate into Contents -> Plugins ->ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice -> Contents -> Plugins ->PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin -> Contents -> Resources. In thatfolder, modify MetaClasses.plist (make a backup first!) using the belowcode.Here’s what you need to add to the file:
<key>com.nokia.N73</key><dict><key>Identification</key><dict><key>com.apple.cgmi+cgmm</key><array><string>Nokia+Nokia N73</string><string>Nokia+Nokia N73-1</string></array><key>com.apple.gmi+gmm</key><array><string>Nokia+Nokia N73</string><string>Nokia+Nokia N73-1</string></array></dict><key>InheritsFrom</key><array><string>family.com.nokia.serie60v2.3</string></array><key>Services</key><array><dict><key>ServiceName</key><string>com.apple.model</string><key>ServiceProperties</key><dict><key>ModelIcon</key><string>NOKN73.tiff</string><key>ModelName</key><string>N73</string></dict></dict></array>
</dict>The image is not properly the right one, but everything is working well and in a few minutes I had my address book downloaded into my N73. Cool!Technorati Tags: luca filigheddu, nokia, n73, isync, macbook, address book, synchronize
