Homemade iSync Plugin for Sony Ericsson W600i / W550i

Color me excited! I actually accomplished something useful. I made an iSync plugin for Mac OS X 10.4, for the W600i/W550i no less!
Imagine that, actually taking my own advice and reading a very useful howto! Well, I can't say that it was very difficult, took a little playing around with, but it worked.
I only had access to the W550i (which I'll be reviewing this week!), but the linked file and instructions for the W600i should work (if not, please leave a comment below!).
While it's only for Mac OS X 10.4, if you need the ability to sync your new W600i or W550i on your Mac, try this:
- Download the one of the following zip files: Z600i or Z550i to your Desktop, and double click the file to unzip it. The result will be a folder named Wxxxi.phoneplugin on your Desktop.
- Open Finder, navigate to your user Library folder, and create a folder called "PhonePlugins", then drag the new Wxxxi.phoneplugin folder from your desktop into PhonePlugins.
- Setup your phone with Bluetooth, as previously discussed.
- In iSync, select the Devices menu and "Add Device," which should find your already paired W600i or W550i phone.
That should be it. Please leave a comment and let me know how it works for you.
UPDATE:For AddressBook support, give this hack from Mobile.Feisar.com a try.






The product arrived with a delay (11/07/2008), 642-825 and it was a pre-owned one, full of scratches and without the user manual or its original accessories. I have returned the product immediately (spend extra US$ 6.00). They received it and told me that I would have my refund in 10-14 business days. Did not happen! Another complaint and I was told to wait more 10-14 days… Nothing! Then I filled a complaint at the Federal Trade Commission, but the company just ignored it. Even after I have 642-812 informed that I would fill a lawsuit, they did not refund me! Recently I realized that they have deleted the history of my complaints in their website, but I do have copies of our communication to prove that I have been stolen US$ 100.00. I have being in contact with different people there; they are real thieves! TELL EVERYONE TO STAY AWAY OF THEM! 642-642
