Well, us Mac users won’t be left out in the cold, jumping through one million hoops to get our phones working on our Mac anymore.

After checking out the software update availability page I recently wrote about, I also noticed the iSync link on the left.

From teh Nokia iSync page:

Make the most of your Mac with iSync

Get organized with iSync. If you’ve got a compatible Nokia phone and a Mac, iSync helps you synchronize your data. Take the hassle out of managing data across devices by downloading changes and updating your phone or Mac when required.

Calendar

Ever get tired of trying to keep on top of your schedule? iSync makes it easy by ensuring that the meetings and appointments you enter into your Nokia mobile phone calendar are also transferred to iCal, Apple’s handy desktop calendar. Make sure you never miss another important date by transferring data to and from your Mac as you need it.

Contacts

Keep your contacts up-to-date by transferring contact information to and from your Mac, including phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, web addresses, and best of all, photos of your friends, family, and colleagues.

Instructions are fairly easy:

1. Make sure you have installed all available updates from Apple using Software Update. You will need Mac OS X 10.4.9 or higher to use the plug-in.
2. Check the list available here to see if your phone needs a plug-in. If so, download the plug-in disk image to your desktop.
3. Make sure iSync is not running.
4. Double-click the downloaded plug-in disk image. A virtual disk will open in Finder.
5. Double-click the enclosed plug-in installer package to start the installation.
6. After the installation is complete, you can eject the virtual disk and move the disk image file to the Trash.
7. You can now start iSync with the plug-in installed.

If you need extra help on using your Nokia phone with your Mac, use any of the following links:

Initial Bluetooth setup
Pairing your device with your Mac

Setting up iSync
Syncing your calendar and contacts

This should make Tom happy

Now, if they can just get a platform independent Nokia mobile phone firmware upgrade application/procedure, everything would be schweet.
