I recently received an email from a reader who inquired about the new Verizon touch screen competitor to the iPhone, the LG VX-10000 Voyager. Here's the email:

I am interested in getting, via Verizon, an LG 10000 Voyager.
Is there any way to sync my calendar with iCal and vice versa?
Thanks

I haven't yet had the chance to try out the LG Voyager, but I'm guessing that it will be difficult. Most Verizon phones won't sync with a Mac, unfortunately, and even fewer LGs. However, there is an application that might find helpful for iSync unsupported CDMA phones. It's called BitPIM and it's an open-source app that works on a Mac, Linux and Windows.

BitPIM gives you access to a lot of information on your phone, and to be able to push and pull info and files onto it.

The program should let you import standard vcard and ical files (which you can export from Mac OS X Address Book and iCal) to sync with the phone. I exported a calendar from iCal and a set of of contacts as a vCard from Address Book, and all imported just fine. Now I don't have a phone to test it on, but you can find out if your phone is supported here.

It's not a perfect solution, like iSync might be, but if you're set on the Voyager or another unsupported CDMA phone, it might be the way to go. I hope it helps.

If you've tried BitPIM, let us know how it worked for you in the comments below.
