For some reasons not further explained here I dumped my mobile phone, a new one preferably with iSync integration was to be bought. I took the Motorola L7 (german edition): synchronizing with iSync worked seemless, also file transfers worked right out of the box via Bluetooth.But, as most times with new gadgets, there is one backdraw I encountered: Apple offers the ability of sending SMS messages right out of the Address Book only for few mobile phones (mainly Sony-Ericsson’s).But David Reitter programmed a plugin to enable at least the Motorola L6 to work. Good news! Even Better news: the plugin also works with Motorola’s L7. As synchronization of Motorola’s L6/L7 is already integrated if you’re runnning a system up to date it’s sufficient to copy the folder “Address Book Plugin” from the downloaded disk image to the user’s Library (exit Address Book prior to this operation). After restarting Address Book you get a new entry “Send SMS via Bluetooth” in the context menu of the mobile phone numbers of your contacs.I say: Thank you, David! You saved me from breaking my fingers typing messages on my mobile phone.Rating:
