hi all...i did a search, but i still have to ask- i am a mac user. If it exists, i would love a phone that can sync to my calendar/addressbook(not just phone numbers, but snailmail addresses too!). I am looking to get a smartphone....however, i work 1/2 the year in Italy, and 1/2 in the states. Thus, i have two sims that i carry. I understand the treo 650 speaks with the mac...is there anything else out there that can do this. I was hoping to avoid 3rd party softwares (pocketmac, etc) but would not rule it out if it is the only solution. Apple's website proved a worthless search.

Thanks

You've already mentioned what I would suggest (pocketmac).

However, I'm a little more new to this smartphone thing than you are (I'm probably getting one for my next phone), so hopefully somebody else knows of another option.

There are free plugins for isync available on the net. I recently bought a nokai N91 and i sync it with my powerbook.

The only options that I can tell you are either a Treo or buying a smartphone and using Pocketmac to to sync....Blackberries work great with Pocketmac and it is also a free download. There are also iSync plug-ins for some devices I know there is a fix you can do for the Nokia E62 on Cingular. Treo's however seem to work better with Mac's. Hope this helps you!

I use Mac's exclusively and have excellent luck using Mark/Space Missing Sync with the Treo (works as a plug-in with iSync) and I am currently using Missing Sync with a BlackJack and it work flawlessly to sync with iCal, Address Book etc.... it will move iTunes libraries that are in MP3 format and iPhoto libraries - if you have the memory.

It isn't free but well worth the $40 and if you need a different version in the future they are 1/2 price - I just purchased a full version for the BlackJack for $19. There are cheaper solutions, but I have yet to find one that works as cleanly and elegantly - although I have not tried PocketMac.

Sorry, I don't know of any solution besides 3rd party software.
