Well, as http://www.apple.com/isync/devices.html quite obviously shows, Apple only supports Nokia's Series 60 based phones at this time. And I don't believe they'll start to support older phones at a later time.

The 6310 does not use SyncML and so isn't as easy to support as Nokia's newer phones.

Sending items from the bluetooth exchange or Address Book doesn't mean that it's paired in the same way to use iSync. The first time I tried it this afternoon, I had to pair the two up as when you're going to browse your phone from the Mac. It allowed the Sync to take then. I tried it a second time and it remembered the connection and it went quicker with a few less steps.

Actually I think I'm still working on perfecting indolence, but I appreciate the thoughts.

OK. I downloaded the new version of iSync, installed it and all that good stuff. I turned bluetooth (to be called bt from here out) on from my 6600. I don't have bt installed inside my Mac so I plugged in my KeySpan bt module via USB.

Let's see. After that I opened iSync and since the phone wasn't showing in the sync list I hit Apple N (Add New Device). I hit scan and it didn't show up when I did that. So I went into Bluetooth Exchange on the Mac and hit Shift Apple O (Browse Device). Now, here, for some reason, I needed a file on my desktop for the Browse option to work. I've tried it since and discovered just about any type of file on the desktop enables the browse function.
On the browse window, I have my 6600 (and my g/f's phone) so I didn't have to scan. I just clicked on my 6600, hit Enter (for Browse) and I got prompts from the phone to enter my Mac password and vice versa.
So I had a secure connection from the Mac to the phone, so I went back into iSync and a picture of my 6600 (same color and everything) popped up. I clicked on it to configure my preferences and hit the Sync button. Less than a minute later, it was all done.
Now, when I open iSync, I get my pictures of my iPod, my Palm and my phone and it's quite syncable.

Much preferred.

octane: You might ignore it all you want, but Apple does NOT support your mobile phone with iSync, currently. Whether it will do so in the future or whether it's politically wrong of them not to do so at all is a completely different matter: Your phone is not supported by iSync. That's the answer for your questions in this thread as far as I can see.
