Working iSync plugin for Sony Ericsson P990i and SE W950i !

What good is that high-end, fancy-shmancy smartphone if you can’t sync it with your desktop? For a real “smart”phone experience on your Mac, your choices are a lot more limited (the iPhone is seamlessly integrated, but we’re not talking about that here) – iSync is the Mac’s equivalent of ActiveSync. Unfortunately, not all smartphones are supported by iSync.
Now, there’s a working iSync plugin for the Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) P990i and W950i! We found these handy-dandy plugins over at the My-Symbian.com forums – made by “Forum Newbie,” mate. A little modification to the already existing Sony Ericsson P1i iSync plugin was all it took to get the P990i and W950ito play nice with the Mac. We’re suprised nobody came up with this earlier.
The SE P990i plugin was tested with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iSync 2.4 (501.2) and this firmware:
Phone:
CXC162037 R9G007
Bluetooth:
CXC162058 R5A01
Organizer:
CXC162036 R6D23
CDA:
CDA162007/1 R6D23
The Sony Ericsson W950i hasn’t been tested by mate, but users have reported that it works.
Download the plugin and try it out yourself. If you have problems using the plugin, make sure you pair with your Mac first, and that your firmware is up to date.

Thanks, Teemu H!
Great work, but how about the M600i?
Going by what’s on the forum, the M600i plugin is currently not working. Check out the My-Symbian forum for more info…
I use an online service called zyb for syncing my mobile phone. This way i can access my mobile data anywhere in the world irrespective of what phone or service i use since ZYB supports almost all phone models.
don’t get me wrong – it’s AMAZING that SE released this plugin, but it STILL doesn’t work for many of the people who have a carrier-branded p990i – like me, I’m on Vodafone UK and it doesn’t work. So annoying!
i cant make i-sync to work with my new ericsson w910i
is there any solution???
