Missing Sync says hello to S60

July 30th, 2008

The space is abuzz today with news of Missing Sync, the software that allows S60 devices to be synced with Apple Macs.

Steven Sande from tuaw.com reports that everything from contacts to texts to calendar entries will mesh, and with the ‘unique feature’ of Proximity Syncing your Mac and your device will automatically share information if they come within the required distance of each other. On Symbian Freak, Teo says users ‘won’t ever need to remember to sync again’ due to this feature, a boon for all the busy people out there for whom syncing is a once a month thing. Archiving all your calls and messages will help when you’re sorting out your billing, or just seeing when you ‘last called your Mom’.

So will you use this software? Do you think it will make your life easier? Head over to either of the sites above and share your thoughts with the guys.

  Bought the software. Nothing but problems. Uninstalled and will not try again. Customer service is the worst I have ever seen.

  Details: the software claims to sync between OSX and Symbian. I got: new Macbook Pro with OSX 10.5.5 and Nokia N95. Installed Missing Sync on the Mac and Nokia. Bluetooth pairing worked fine. installation of the N95 plugin worked fine. Tried to sync. Log full of errors on the Mac, out of memory error on N95.

  Contacted customer support and asked for refund (within 4 hours from purchase). Reply came next day saying that all sales are final, however they could make an exception if I work with support and no solution is found.

  I replied that I can’t spend any more time getting it to work and am not going to use it, so would they make an exception without going through a protracted and fruitless exchange.

  They did not reply.

  A couple of days later I reminded them - still silence.

  I am contacting my credit card company to dispute the charge.

  Interesting: they don’t allow downloading a trial. They don’t do refunds. Their software doesn’t support its primary use case on the configuration they claim it’s designed for (not even some obscure corner case). Very peculiar strategy of doing business…
