There’s no sign yet of an iSync plugin from Nokia for the 5800 XpressMusic, so I put my developer hat on and made one. Simply download, unzip and copy to the /Library/PhonePlugins folder! After pairing your 5800, run iSync, and select Devices|Add Device…
Update: As some people have pointed out, Nokia finally made one available for download on the European website.

You must be doing something wrong. Please follow my above instructions exactly or get someone to help you. Make sure you have admin privileges and you are running Leopard (10.5.5).

Anyone have tryed with the new 10.5.6 (released just 2 hrs ago) ?
December 15, 2008 at 3:40 pm |
@checco, I just updated to 10.5.6 and it’s still working fine – I expect this to be the case with all past/present/future versions of Leopard.

Thanks a bunch for the plugin!
Works on my Aluminum MacBook perfectly, but not on my G5 iSight iMac for some reason, both at 10.5.6; who knows?
FYI since you have a QR Code, I just loaded Nokia’s “Nokia Barcode Reader” app on my 5800, says it wasn’t compatible during installation, continued with installation anyway, turns out it works fine, even decoding a big messy business/V-card QR code.

Simply Perfect!
Million Thanx
Con el 5800 en castellano y un IMac con 10.5.5
Creando la carpeta como nos dices con ese nombre en la carpeta LIBRERIA
Copiar allí la carpeta que sale de descomprimir el ZIP (OJO, la carpeta en sí, no solo el contenido)
….Y nada mas activar ISYNC ya sale el Phone completamente reconocible.
Lo dicho MIL GRACIAS, John

@ jay ↲hi ther. Dont worry. I had the same problem. All you have to do is open a finder window and then go to library and then create folder exactly named like this PhonePlugins. And paste the unzipped file into it. Now take isync pair it and there you go:-)↲

Guys I have tiger but not leopard.Is it possible sync 5800 with tiger? Please help
January 13, 2009 at 8:40 pm |
Hi,
Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to make it work ;-(
Here is what I did on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.4.11
- created a folder “PhonesPlugins” in both root and user /library,
- pasted the zip file content,
- restarted my computer,
- repaired Nokia 5800 and computer,
- launch iSync,
- selected Devices/ Add device.
Result is same as before: iSync can’t connect to this device…
Thanks a lot in advance for your help…
Best regards,
Richard

[...] If you’re one of the few kids who own a brand spankin’ new Nokia 5800 AND happen to own a Macintosh, you will probably notice that the Nokia iSync support site still doesn’t have a device driver for this phone. No worries, one will come soon. It always does. But in the meantime, you can check out tnkgrl’s self-developed iSync plugin which works just as fine! [...]

Hi, just downloaded your file. But I do not have a folder /Library/PhonePlugins. So how do I go about it? Now I did find a plug in on the nokia europe site, but it does not work for my contacts. Does your plug in work for that?? Thanks
