Not really.. Thats the list, and thats pretty much it. If you are lucky, you might find a specific hack/patch to allow at least some of iSync to work with other phones. Not generally recommended tho.
Its worse if like me, you are in europe, as many of the phones in Apple list are not available here. As if that wasnt bad enough, if like me you happen to prefer Nokia's, then we're pretty much shafted, as very few Nokia phones are supported.
It does suk..

Please. The UK is not Europe. Most of the phones on that list are available here.

I knew Macnn had some dumb users, but this fcuking dumb? I am truly shocked. Don't ever tell me what you consider to be Europe or not you gormless fool. I live in London UK. I should bloody well know what is Europe or not. And why you choose a thread about iSync/Mobile phones to announce your stupidity to all, is known only to you. And to be quite honest, I hope it stays that way.

As for the phones, ok, many are available here, but at the same time, many are not. And Apple are none too hot at keeping iSync up to date with the latest and greatest phones. Which is a real shame.

Cool it!

He meant that the UK is not all of Europe and that you can't say that because the phones aren't available in the UK they aren't available in Europe.

Most of the phones are available in Denmark too.
