Anyone connect a Razr to a mac? Any problems? I read that the Razr cant connect to iSync over Bluetooth, that you have to use a USB cable. Is this correct?

For regular Bluetooth, you should be fine—for getting or putting pictures, videos, etc. on the phone. Contacts and address book (iSync) features you need the cable for. I'm not exactly sure why. Something to do with either Apple or Motorola's BT implementation. Hopefully one or the other will work it out for future iSync updates.

There is a program called OnSync that can sync your address book information to your Motorola through Bluetooth (many other phones and makes are supported besides the Razr. I'm using a V551 with the program). It doesn't do calendars or addresses, but it gives you some extra options for names, numbers and emails. You can chose the way somebody's name will appear on your phone (First, Last; Just first or last; First, nickname in quotes, last, etc.).

It costs $10 to register the program, but you can use it without registering.

Howardforums is a very good place to look for cell info, especially with the Razr, so check that place out too.
