Well, after clicking a few lovely links, I discovered a great plug-in that adds support for the Nokia N73 to iSync, and I was able to get my whole address book and calendar synced up with the phone. This is great news, as N73 users who are also Mac users would find their lives very difficult indeed if their shiny new phones weren’t syncable. Having iCal talk to this phone really increases its likeable-ness. Here’s how I did it:

First off, the “hack” referenced on several blogs to make the N73 show up in iSync doesn’t work. Supposedly, if you modify a resource file inside the iSync package, the N73 supposed to show up and be syncable. I had no such luck, despite the Mac’s Bluetooth noticing the N73 right away.

What I ended up doing was grabbing this plug-in, which solves the problem. Once installed per the included read-me, the N73 icon showed up in iSync, just like it was there out of the box. Very handy indeed. Next stop, Flickr.
