Syncing an Sony Ericsson S500i with a Mac (and with Google contacts)

Yesterday I wanted to sync an Sony Ericsson S500i with an iMac (OS X 10.5).

Unfortunately, out-of-the box this phone is not supported by iSync. After some searching on the Internet I found a solution.

I downloaded a plugin from this blog. The location to put the plugin as mentioned on this blog did not work however.

It turned out that the plugin needed to be put in another location (/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/). This information was found here.

After this syncing worked perfectly with the phone. Additionally I want to sync the address book with Google Contacts as well. For this a small hack was needed (which can be found here). Normally the option to sync with Google is only available when the Mac has synced with an iPhone or iPod touch before.
