I've switched from a Nokia 6230i to a Samsung D600. After downloading OnSync (purchase) and setting up the bluetooth recognition, I was truly amazed at the results. I uploaded my mobile files from my old Nokia to Mail (after setting up a folder called "Mobile Contacts" under Groups). Then I dragged those contacts onto my new Samsung D600 mobile. Hope this helps someone. Maybe it will also work for other Samsung models. The software is available on: http://www.onmadesoft.com I have Mac OS 10.3.9.

On the A900 click the "Menu" circle button and navigate to Tools > Mass Storage > Connect to PC. Don't click "OK" yet. Connect the USB cable and then click the "Menu/OK" button. A screen should say "Connected to PC Call Disabled" and your phone should be mounted on the Desktop of your Mac in the shape of a White USB drive icon. Double click the icon on the desktop (single click if you want to rename it) and then open the "MEDIA" directory. Put as many MP3 files in there as will fit in that tiny amount of space they provide with the phone and eject the icon from the destop when ready. Now when you navigate on the phone to the "Media Player" choose "Mass Storage" and you should have your transfered files available to play from your phone. WARNING--MP3 files only. Other formats will have to be converted to .mp3 before transferring to the phone if you want them to show up and be available. MP3s playing natively on the A900 — Mac OS X

Conection via bluetoth sam A900 to mac I use Bluetooth as modem and get good speeds...you must open darwin after signing on and imput ping -i 20 google.com enter this pings google every 20 seconds to keep the bluetooth connection active, preventing sprint from dropping conection.. sometimes calls will come through but mostly you will just get a notification of new voicemail/ text's while using phone as modem.. the phone as modem plan is only $40/month versus the $60/ month for the sprint big bulkey wireless dealey... Questions: salling clicker: allows phone to be used as a remote for itunes/ photos/ iwork etc.... should be compatable with the A-900 other samsung devises are supported hopefully soon they will work with us. I have not been able to get the a900 to accept the file yet.. copy from salling forum: reason for no workey Unfortunately, it doesn't look very good as far as support for the A900 goes. First of all, no Samsung phones to date support the "APIs" required. Also, Samsung offers no developer documentation for the A900 (and neither does Sprint), so it's not possible at this time to figure out if it is supportable. anyone found a way arround this one???

I diddn't think I was asking that much. Considering Cingular gives phones away that do that. Well I have a great plan with Sprint, I've brought at least 15 people over to Sprint, but I just can't deal with the lack of good phones. I have called Sprint and told them this many times. I will be leaving very soon. As of now the only thing keeping me from Canceling my contract and paying $150 is the fact that Apple might come out with a phone and I don't want to pick the wrong company. If I go before Apple brings out there phone I'll go with Cingular, at least they have some phones that work with itunes and meet the rest of my limited demands. SEE YA Sprint!

I have brought at least 15 people over to sprint. I spend $150 a month, and I will be leaving soon for Cingular. Then the rest of my family will as well. I can't take the lack of good phones. I want a phone with bluetooth, works with Apple, lets me play music (No I don't want to buy it again from you Sprint). Not that much to ask!!!!!!!! Listen to the customers that will bring you more.

It really seems as though only GSM phones will work with isync.

When tethered with the data cable the mac recognizes it as Samsung CDMA (not neccessarily EDVO) and there is a modem connection for Sprint vision (not power vision) so the phone can be used although the connect speed is only 230400 bps. Blue tooth makes a data only connection but I can't get it to sync. Any Ideas on getting a faster connection? I got the A900 to use as a modem.
