Quick story. Quick conclusion.
8 months ago I won a nokia n97 worth R8500. Nice prize - i thought. It couldn’t sync with my mac so for 8 months I have saved contacts on (one at a time) everytime someone contacted me and I didn’t know who they were. And when I needed to contact someone (who had not already contacted me) then I had to manually go and find their number on my computer.
I know.
This morning I woke up and decided enough was enough. I was going to fix this inconvenience once and for all. With a face like a flint :) i made my way to Mugg and Bean and started a very long Sunday morning.... Many thanks to the dedicated online bloggers on the 6 different discussion forums, who collectively solved my problems.
If just one person can stumble on this list and find it helpful I will be consoled with a very deep and meaningful feeling of satisfaction. But what are the chances of that happening. If it helps you, please call me - at least I know who you are when my phone rings.

- Use Mac to download Nokia firmware upgrade for phone. The old firmware had a bug that made it incompatible with iSync. (what is firmware, and what is a bug actually?)
- Transfer file to my work windows machine cos mac doesn’t speak .exe. (and that is not ek se´)
- Connect windows machine to the internet to download latest nokia firmware upgrade. It failed TWICE at 84%. Never in my life has 84% been a failure.
- Reset iSync history
- Repair Bluetooth devices
- Back up contacts onto the microSD card and IMMEDIATELY restore them (even though there were no contacts on the phone by this stage), causing the phone to auto-reboot. (this was the elusive step)
- Sync with success.
