I gave up trying to get my Motorola C350 to work with iSync in Tiger – I thought I could do a different version of the same hack I’d done in Panther, but it just wouldn’t work. This was quite annoying, considering that Apple list the C350 as iSync compatible on their web site.
But what the hey – got me a secondhand Motorola V600. Now don’t get me wrong, I still hate Motorola phones, I still think their head of human interface design looks like this. (It’s the way that the menu buttons work when sending a message, the way that even though this is a clamshell, the buttons on the side turn the ringtone silent in your pocket…)
But this phone has Bluetooth. Hey, my new PowerBook has Bluetooth. I wonder if…
And they talk to each other beautifully! So easy to get wallpaper on and off. And, so so easy to add my own MP3 ring tones (edited in Audacity) and so easy to get free MIDI ring tones off the web.
And I discovered that Smiths songs played in MIDI format on a mobile phone invariably sound like New Order.
