When RTFM doesn’t work, CTFG – Check The Fine Google.
The stupid Sony Ericsson T610 phone wouldn’t even sync through the documented setups. The manual says nothing about synchronization except asking you to log-in the Sony Ericsson WAP site to download a piece of software to the phone; but the site itself doesn’t even work at all and up pops an error message!
Once again, Google comes to the rescue.
Also, why the hell are all the special character settings in different places at different point through out a single function setup?
I have had enough of Sony Ericsson phones. Even using them as landfill is too useful a job for them. Target practice would be nice though.

Hmm… Quite the contrary, syncing my T68i w/ iSync (syncs iCal and Address Book) is a couple of clicks. Setup was relatively straightforward. It just works.
Non Symbian Sony-Ericsson phones have some UI issues, but no worse than say Motorola, or any of the Japanese phones. Nokia is slick in the phone book department, but then they don’t generally do as much as my T68i.
Oh yeah it actually works alright with the PC, I just have to enable a COM port (COM 7 is my case) on the PC which is not documented anywhere. Call it my fault for the lack of computer knowledge…
Does iSync/Apple keep track of the “user group” info from the phone?
Not only does M$ Outlook not keep the “user group” info from the phone when it does have a similar “user catagory” catagory for contact info, it doesn’t have an “email” catagory! It just amazed me at this day and age, such a piece of s…oftware doesn’t come defualt with an “email” catagory in contact info.
