Sony Ericsson K770 plugin for iSync

Having held off a contract phone until I could find one which did everything I really wanted I finally took the plunge when I saw the Sony Ericsson K770i.
The only problem I have with the phone was that it was not supported by Apple’s iSync utility.

Since I knew from reviews that the internals are basically the same as the K800 and K810 I thought that it should be possible to make a plugin based on the K800 plugin that comes with iSync.

A quick search of the contents of the iSync package soon found what I needed:

iSync.App
|
\Contents
|
 \Plugins
   |
    \ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice
      |
       \Contents
         |
          \Plugins
            |
             \SonyEricsson-K800.phoneplugin

I copied this directory and renamed it SonyEricsson-K7700.phoneplugin, then did a search for K800 in all of the .plist files within the directory, replacing them with K770.

After a quick trip to Photoshop editing com.sonyericsson.K800.tiff to represent the K770 and saving the file as com.sonyericsson.K770.tiff I was ready to try it out.

Creating a new folder named PhonePlugins in my local Library directory and copying the SonyEricsson-K800.phoneplugin directory to it did the trick and my new phone synced perfectly.

You can download a zipped copy of the SonyEricsson-K800.phoneplugin from the file link above, use it at your own risk.
