Add iSync/Address Book support for P908/P900 phones

Certain firmware for the Sony/Ericsson P900/P908 were not included in iSync and Address Book. This prevented the sync of these phones with Mac OS X. Also, Address Book features like making and receiving calls through AddressBook were disabled. Firmware affected is on the SE P900, CNP900, and CNP908.

I have created a set of files which, when installed, will:

  1. Enable Bluetooth Setup Program to find and install SE P900/P908 phones
  2. Enable iSync
  3. Enable make and receive calls through Address Book
Start by downloading a file called P900Rev1.zip from my .Mac iDisk [124KB direct download]. The folder contains all the files, along with necessary installation instructions. These files will be specially helpful for those who are not comfortable with Terminal usage.

[robg adds: I haven't tested this one, but I did download and look through the files -- they all seem to be plist and info files, along with the instructions in three formats. A previous hint also discussed synching the P900, while this hint discussed some Address Book / P900 compatibility issues.]
