as my only computer is a g4 cube is there any software out there that will let me use the discs that come with the p800. it needs windows 2000.me.xp to work and short of either ditching the phone or ditching the computer and getting some sh1te pc that keeps crashing and getting more viruses than the local infectious disease clinic im stuck there must be something i can do

You can get a PC Emulator called Virtual PC for the mac, this will run W2K or XP. Now, not too sure on the connectivity side of things but it could work.

What exactly are you trying to do with the phone? sync contact info and the suchlike? if so and it's a bluetooth phone then you could use Apple's iSync software, though you'd need Mac OS X for that. But I use that with my T68i and it works like a charm.

As said, iSync is excellent! I think that Mac OS X will even mount the MemoryStick on the desktop when you connect via USB.

well all i want to do is to be able to download the games on the discs and also download tunes and pics for it via my computer also being able to download films straight to the memory stick would be good i dont really have any need to sync the phone book as such yet.
so if i get virtual pc do i need to get w2k or xp as well or is the mac able to sort it out via the program.
many thanks

P800 Moviemaker for Mac:

To send apps, photos or anything else back and forth use Bluetooth File Transfer. The latest version of QuickTime can also handle 3GPP standard MPEG4 format videos which the P800 uses.

For syncing contacts (with pictures), calendar, todo items use iSync.

Try the Mac stuff first.

Use iSync its quality.

If you really want to get the best out of your phone and show off a bit with blue tooth try this piece of jaw dropping software:
SE Clicker
Killer feature alert! If you have your phone with you when you get near your mac, it can perform automated tasks on you entering the room, such as starting up programmes or checking your emails etc

Clicker doesn't work with the P800/P900 Tis a cracking piece of s/w though, use it with my T68i

I use iSync with my T610 and it works a treat.
sync all contacts and also download games and files to it.
best bit of software that they have done for a while.

on a diffrent note
Angry...did you get the software?
I have not received the cheque so you may need to send it again

so all i need then is isync and virtual pc and that will be able to do everything i want it to. shame about the clicker i quite fancy being able to start up the comp from my phone

angrynorth

Tony,
I got the software fine thankyou. I wondered why the cheque hadn't been cashed yet. I'll send another on registered post tonight.

Sailing clicker is great, love it to bits, very handy for playing with iTunes when you're not at your desk

I've also got some theme editor for the T68i as well, which is funky, so have my own custom themes on there.

second using esato too, have got a few themes and ringtones from there, and uplodaed the themes using Sony Ericsson client (same chaps that do the clicker)

As for VPC - you'd need VPC (now owned by micro$haft) and a copy of Windows XP, but it does work, got it here, use it for running W2k Server and other bits my mac cannot.

cheers for that andy

VPC is great...lots of fun especially when a PC IT guru walks past and freaks that windows XP is running on a Mac
