Once downloaded, it went well, with english language instructions in pdf. Follow the procedures (turn off computer bluetooth, phone blue tooth; restart them and then re-pair devices and isync started automatically) and it all worked flawlessly. All calandar and comtacts came through and operating well.. I too bought the plug in for new E61i (Note: buy site is in German til you get to PayPal).

As such, there should be no need to pay for the mactomster version. I would be very interested to know what the mactomster version does better than 10.4.9 to warrant the price. -Brian Jorma,

Worked without problems. Decent deal if you ask me. Just downloaded the new app at http://www.mactomster.de for the E50 and iSync 2.4 for €8. Worked without problems. Decent deal if you ask me.

Looks like you are correct. Mactomster is now charging about $10 (US) for the plugin. It's unfortunate that the plugin did not remain FREE, but I do understand Mactomster's need to cover their costs of hosting and supporting the plugin. Now, for those that donated previously... Well, they should get a free upgrade! Other places to check on the web include: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060511162644120 http://the.taoofmac.com/space/HOWTO/Write%20iSync%20Phone%20Plugins There are other for-pay options as well, like a plugin from Nova Media, I think. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the for-pay options handle everything correctly (like Birthdays, all-day events, etc). Let me know if you find a better solution to this! -Brian Hi puramu,

This worked for me for a couple months now, but for some reason, my all-day events werent syncing. I visited the macomster site to see if there was a more recent version than the one I'm using and you have to pay for it now - haha - after I donated a few bucks to the guy. bummer. Thanks for this!
