[BTM] Nokia 7610

[Simon G. Trask]

Hello list,

Is anyone using Nokia's 7610 smartphone with the Mac over Bluetooth? 
 From http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,6771,56996,00.html (Multimedia 
Players) it seems that transfering audio and video between phone and 
computer in both directions should be possible. But there doesn't 
seem to be any software specifically to support transfer. I haven't 
used Bluetooth before. Would it work like USB or FireWire, so the 
phone's memory would automatically appear as a device on the desktop 
and you'd just drag and drop files in either direction?

It seems like USB itself is also a possibility, with a special Nokia 
USB lead (apparently the 7610 uses a Nokia interface called a 
Pop-Port (http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,4879,4629,00.html) which 
supports USB data transfer), and also the phone's 64 MB Reduced Size 
MultiMediaCard if not its internal 8MB memory could be read via a 
suitable card reader. But Bluetooth seems like the most convenient 
option.

As for syncing calendars and contacts, is that reliant on Apple's 
iSync supporting the phone? If so, the 7610 isn't supported, 
according to Apple's iSync Device Compatibility page. Nokia has its 
own software, but only available for Windows (its PC Suite software). 
And how about using the phone as a modem via Bluetooth? Again, it 
seems Nokia only supports Windows with the necessary drivers, but 
maybe there's an Apple alternative?

thanks in advance for any help,

Simon
