Does anyone know the requirements for having a Nokia mobile work with iSync? As far as I've been able to find out the only ones which work at the moment are:

Nokia N-Gage (GSM)
Nokia 3650 (GSM)
Nokia 3600 (GSM)
Nokia 7650 (GSM)

None of which fit the bill for me of being small enough to put in my pocket. They're about to release the 6230 ( http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,47665,00.html ), though, which seems ideal. It has Bluetooth and SyncML, but my question is whether there's anything else that will be required for synching with iCal, Address Book and so on.

Does anyone know what's required for this?

The 6230 is a slick little number and I can't see any reason why it won't sync with iSync. Unfortunately, it won't be out until next quarter.

I suppose it's a matter of taste, but I think it's understated and handsome.

Nokia has a WACKO design department though, and some of their latest stuff shouldn't have made it past concept stages, though their ergonomics tend to be surprisingly good.

I really like Nokia phones. They're the only company which make user interfaces which make sense to me. I had a play with a friend's T610 and while it was a nice phone it just didn't all feel right with the UI.

I'm sticking with my Nokia 8850 until Apple adds support (or Nokia make a phone) which works fine with iSync. The 6230 might be that phone, but as you say maxintosh - it's not bloody out yet!

Agreed. I hated the T68i's interface (SO many menus because there were no soft buttons!) and the T610 is only a minor improvement. Nokia just MAKES SENSE, automatically. Anybody I hand my phone to figures it out in two seconds. I was really slow at navigating through the T610.
