Nokia 6288 and Mac OS X

My latest mobile phone is Nokia 6288. I've been using it for the last few days and it looks to be working properly, for now. The only problem I had was that it was not supported by Apple's iSync software so I could not synchronise the contacts with my Mac's Address Book.

I could not find any directions for this specific model but after broadening the query a bit I found this.

Fortunately Nokia 6288 is almost identical to 6280, which is supported by iSync .

As the article says... First open /Applications: iSync.app: (Control-click and choose Show Package Contents): Contents: PlugIns: ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice: Contents: PlugIns: PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin: Contents: Resources: MetaClasses.plist file in TextEdit, and add the following XML lines:

        </dict>
    </dict>
</array>
</dict>


After that just pair the device via bluetooth and run isync. Business as usual
