You don't need shareware.

It's all built-in for people using 10.3.5 or later. Connect your bluetooth phone and use it as a remote control. Works quite well with my K700i, some buttons are not properly mapped, but it works.

anyone tried it yet ?
Yeah, check the Software forum for several dozen threads over the past few years.

I just wish it supported Siemens phones, 'cuz I really hate the k700i - flimsy, buggy POS.

I liked the K700 in the beginning, now I hate it. Many little things: I write tons of e-mails with my cell phone, but each mailbox can hold only 30 of them (needless to say, you can't create new ones). You shouldn't leave e-mails in your inbox, because they are downloaded each time you check mails. E-mails are also limited in length, and the phone doesn't even tell you when you have exceeded that limit (resulting in partial e-mails being sent to friends after quite some time typing). The battery doesn't last long and the overall ease-of-use is, hmmm, limited. Why, I really don't get it, why doesn't SonyEricsson use the same OS they used to have on my Japanese cell phone? It worked perfectly and the limit per mail box was 500, although the memory was just 1/10th of what I have now. Battery lasted three times as long.

Sorry for the rant. Oh, but it does have bluetooth and you can use it as a mouse, etc, with your Mac

do I not want to hear that... My phone company just offered me a free upgrade from my t610 to, either, a t630 or a k700. I was going to go for the k700 despite what I'd read about battery life. Now I'm not too sure, What do you think?

If you don't write a lot of e-mails and you just use the basic functionality (e. g. no more than one e-mail address per contact), it works fine. It's just that I am dependent on e-mails (my gf and most of my friends live abroad), so these gripes really do affect me.
