N-Gage works with iSync

update – new iSync 1.3 added support for N-Gage, so need not use this hack.
But to make Nokia’s N-Gage work with Apple’s iSync requires some editing of some files.
Warning – do at your own risk.
Found the solution in an Apple Discussion posting by Bob Loncaric.

You’d need to log in as root and modify 2 system files.
Go to HD -> System -> Library -> SyncServices -> SymbianConduit.Bundle -> Contents -> Resources directory and open two files in TextEdit.
File 1 : SymbianConduit_phones.plist
Add these in the file:

<key>Nokia--separator--Nokia N-Gage</key>
<string>symbiantool</string>

File 2 : SupportedDevicesInfo

<key>N-Gage</key>
<dict>
<key>ATI3Response</key>
<string>Nokia N-Gage</string>
<key>AgendaDatabasePath</key>
<string>c:\system\data\calendar</string>
<key>AgendaMappingsPath</key>
<string>7650AgendaMappings</string>
<key>ClassId</key>
<string>5251588</string>
<key>MappingsPath</key>
<string>7650mappings</string>
<key>iSyncIniPath</key>
<string>c:\system\iSync.ini</string>
</dict>

Only thing to take note is not to be in Calendar mode in N-Gage when you are syncing as it will cause some error.
Other thing to work out is to show the correct N-Gage icon as it shows the 7650/3650 icon.
