As Alexandre says, it doesn't need to be iSync compatible for this -  
bluetooth protocols allow for a device to offer a number of different  
services and the one used by iSync is different for the one used by  
file-transfers.

Once you have paired the phone with the Mac using the Bluetooth Steup  
Assistant it may be possible to transfer the file in a number of ways  
- by browsing the phone from the Mac, by browsing the Mac from the  
phone, or by using the phone to "beam" the file to the Mac. Depending  
on the phone some or all of these options may be available & work.
