I’ve finally gotten a replacement Nokia N900 mobile phone from WomWorld / Nokia yesterday. The first thing I tried out on the N900 when I got it up and running yesterday was the web browser. I tried browsing the Connected Phone site to see if it will render properly on the N900 and it did. Before starting off several articles about the Nokia N900, I thought I’d post something about syncing the Mac OS X addressbook and calendar with the Maemo based Nokia N900.
Getting the N900 working, the first thing I wanted to do was find a way to sync my Mac OS X addressbook and calendar to the mobile phone since I plan to use it as my main phone for the duration of the 4 weeks that I can use the N900.
At first I thought it’s going to be a pain trying to find a way to sync the Mac OS X Addressbook and Calendar with the N900 — actually it turns out to be as smooth as silk. Nokia has already done an Mac OS X iSync plugin for the Nokia N900 and all I had to do was download and install it on my Mac. You can download the N900 iSync plugin from Nokia. The plugin requires an N900 firmware version of at least 10.2010.12-9. For the procedure, you can read about my post on how to Sync Nokia Symbian phones with Mac OS X addressbook and calendar.
Now that I am able to sync my Addressbook and Calendar data to the Maemo based Nokia N900, I’m ready to start using it as my main mobile phone these coming weeks. I’ll be posting articles about my experience on using the N900 during the coming days to share my opinions, likes and dislikes about the N900 and it’s Maemo mobile operating system.
