I just purchased this phone last week. It has Bluetooth, so I was wondering what people (if anybody) have been doing with the phone and their Mac via bluetooth.

I ask this question also considering that the phone is not compatible with iSync (yet, I hope).

Also, does anyone know of a good source for applications that I could put on the phone?

How did it come to this? Goodbye PowerPC. | sensory output

I don't have a Nokia 3650 phone (but I have Nokia 7650, based on the same Symbian OS). Since no one has say anything on your question, so I'd better make some comments.

Yes, you can use Bluetooth with your Nokia 3650, and yes, iSync is not compatible with your Nokia phone (yet? ) You can download and upload your files (even MIDI ringtones!) between your Nokia phone and Mac OS X 10.2 with Apple's Bluetooth file exchange. No problem with mine!

In terms of applications (you mean those Java applications for use with your Nokia phone, right?), unfortunate the biggest source would be Nokia software Market. Sorry, I haven't find any source that has shareware or freeware Nokia Java apps yet

Nokia 7650/3650 and SE P800 are new Symbian based phones that are SyncML compatible and hence could be made to work with iSync, however current versions of iSync arent actually able to use SyncML via Bluetooth at all. They use IrMC which is a variant of IrDA. Apple plans to use SyncML, but has needed to wait for an implementation of SyncML over OBEX (Bluetooth). Currently SyncML works using HTTP/GPRS in most phones implementing it. Since apple has included bluetooth support for the aforementioned phones in 10.2.5, it stands to reason an iSync update should be very far behind to allow for full synchronisation, its a matter of adding SyncML/OBEX support and A conduit for Symbian OS. Im pretty sure that 3rd party progs will pop up too, as Symbian is an open source OS
