Update 20. Oct 2008: A more up to date plugin is located at http://www.mroach.com/

After recieving a Sony Ericsson W580i, I made a quick plugin to get it up and running with iSync and Address Book. The plug-in is in no way perfect but should get the job done. I haven’t tested calendar syncing yet.

Download the following file W580i_iSync_Plugins_v1.zip, put PhonePlugins in the /User/Library folder. From here on add the phone in bluetooth devices and open iSync.

To get the address book working, open /Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/Resources/ Telephony.bundle/Contents/Resources/ABDeviceCommandSets.plist

Locate the following text:

ABDeviceModelStrings

P800

ABDial
ATD%@;

And add the following under it, before

ABAnswerPhone
ATA
ABAnswerWaiting
at+chld=2
ABDeclineWaiting
at+chld=0
ABDeviceModelStrings

W580

ABDial
ATD%@;
ABEnableCallWaiting
at+ccwa=1
ABEnableCallerID
at*eips=1,1
ABEnableCallerName
at*eips=2,1
ABEnableSMSReceive
at+CNMI=2,1
ABHangUpPhone
ATH
ABReleaseAndAnswer
at+chld=1
ABRequestClip
at+clip=1
ABSendSMS
AT+CMGS=%dBWACKRBWACKN

If you have another Sony Ericsson model without Address Book support you can try adding yourphonemodel after the W580 line.
