I have a Sony Ericsson W200i. It's black with the orange edges. It's one of those phones that can have it all (agenda, calendar, radio fm, mp3 reader, internet, play, camera for photo and video). But it only has synchronization software for PC with Windows. When I realized this it was a little late, but anyway. Seeking on the internet, I found some programs that say to function with telephones mobiles in Mac.
For example, FoneLink of Novamedia that can also do backups of sms messages. But does not work with my telephone. It works from W300i to W910i, and other models. And also works for some Motorola and some Nokia. If you do not see your phone in the list they have, you can ask them to include it using the Phone Inspector they provide for download. And it's already compatible with Leopard.
Or also the Plugins for Sony Ericsson of Feisar, that do that they function with iSync that already comes with the Mac. But here we have another problem, and the fact is that the update 10.4.10 of the OS X has broken with the ability of iSync to detect telephones connected by USB. So if you still want to use the plugin, you would have to do the first USB synchronization in version 10.4.9 and only later do the upgrade. The site does not say anything 10.4.11 neither Leopard. Seems that Bluetooth works fine, but my telephone does not have that. UPDATE 11/Jan/2008: Feisar Site has released the plugin also for Leopard and USB synchronization is now working.
There's also this tuner for the "walkman" to work with iTunes, called iTuneMyWalkman 0.941. Still unavailable for Leopard. It only works to be able to synchronize the music, to do it as easy as between the Mac and the iPod.
UPDATE 28/Feb/2008: My dearest brother show me an app called Dreamsicle that let you synchronize or manage your Sony Ericsson Walkman with iTunes and iPhoto and also has video support. There is a demo download and costs $11,95 (€ 8).
And there's also PhoneAgent 1.4.3. Functions only with Sony Ericsson phones, and well, not with all of them. My W200i is not neither in the list of the phones that "perhaps" works although without official backup. But it is prepared for Leopard.
Except by iTuneMyWalkman (that is open source) all the other are payments. They are not very expensive.
Finally, I tried to connect the telephone from Windows to the Mac but for some reason, it did not work. After almost half an hour I gave up and I left Windows to return to Tiger, and oh, wonder! the phone was recognized as a USB drive. As simple as that. So using Finder I passed some music from the computer to the phone and some photos from the phone to the computer. It's what i have, but makes me happy.
