Sorry - I'm a bit new to this - what does this mean in laymans terms?

I'm frustrated that I can pair with my laptop and sync my contacts & calenders, as well as upload / download pics and music. I use a Macbook Pro.

I was hoping somenoe would develop a program to allow this....

I use spanning sync to sync my google contacts and google calendar with my address book and my ical. works great, make a change in the calendar on the G1 and you see it in ical, make a change in ical you see it on the G1. works the same with the G1's contacts and the address book.

For bluetooth transfer i use Bluex its on the market. its like 2 or 3 bucks i think, but you need to have root on your G1. but its great it can transfer both ways between my macbook pro and the G1.


BTW: running MBP 2.3 C2D OS X 10.5.7

EQUIPT that I Use is all seen by the HTC Hero
but wont work as the hero hasent got any usable services or the ability to pass that info on when pairing then wont connect (If I had know that this device is effectivly crippled I 'd have left it on the shelf)
In saying that its a good phone works fine with radio
I need to talk with virgin about their web experience

Just got a new T-mobile G2 touch (rebranded HTC hero). Like the phone, but I need the remote SIM access to be able to use my phone safely in the car.

Is the lack of remote SIM access limited by the phone, or is it an android limitation? If it's an android issue, is a fix planned? any ideas when?

If it's a phone issue, I'll find an HTC forum and ask them...


Cheers.
