OSX P990 P99i isync problem solved, who needs the iphone?

So whilst mulling over the fact that if the P990i would only do isync properly, and that the Iphone wasn't going to cut it unless it had 3g in Europe, I decided to take on Sony Ericcson. I mean these are the guys that said it would work when the phone was released. When Vodafone sold me the phone, they said it work, because hey, Sony Ericsson said it would work.

Well when I first contacted Sony Erissson, they weren't too enthusiastic about it, indeed it wasn't until I pointed out that their white paper on the subject still listed it as going to work, did they show any interest, but I got a we're not really doing anything about this, as it's an old phone and we've moved on.

However, when I pointed out to Vodafone, that I could legitimately return the phone as it was not fit for purpose, they asked Sony Ericsson to open the case.

That was 3 months ago, after a bit of poking at them, I get this in the mail today.

Tested it, my wife who's a driving Instructor Surrey Downs Driving Academy - blatent plug

Please note this is not the P1 hack that was about a while ago, this is the real deal from SE themselves.
