As with every new toy, it has to be explored, and here are some tips for the Sony Ericsson k750i (especially on a mac):

IRC: A nice little IRC Java Midlet: jmirc (via resmo)

SSH: A (most presumably not so useful but working) SSH Midlet: midPssh (via adi)

Semacode: The semacode program works on the k750 with the built in cam. Also not of much use, but has some potential.

You can use the k750i as remote "keyboard", but the built in schemes are of no use on the mac. Nice ones are available at creativebits for iTunes, DVD Player and Keynote (works also with SlideML :) ), even more on MacTechNews (VLC, iPhoto, QuickTime).

For getting the GPRS connection work with Bluetooth on the Mac, you should get the scripts from Ross Barkman and read the instructions.

If you use the USB connection cable, your Mac will kernel panic after you unmount and remove the cable... There's a fix available here.

Sending SMS from the built-in Address Book does not work out of the box (yet). Here's the instruction of how to add that.

That's it for the time being, if I discover more, I'll post it.

Update: A nice little page about some of the hints I posted above and much more (in german)

"For getting the GPRS connection work with Bluetooth on the Mac, you should get the scripts from Ross Barkman and read the instructions."

You don't need any script for a SE device.

To use your SE device with a Mac, configure the account in the device (e.g. configure an account for its email client), and check the assigned Connection ID.

Then select, for example, the "Ericsson T39 9.6k" modem, disable both checkboxes, and set the dial number to *99***(ConnectionID)#.

As simple as this :)

Thank you for the links. Used some of those too.

Oi Chregu. thanks for the hints. The K750i works for me as an iPod Shuffle (using a large enough sd card) as it reads AAC files. Any idea how I can get rid of the annoying ._ (image files or what their called) that are hidden files on the mac but become visible once i transferred the files to the K750i?

chregu @ 29.09.2005 21:13 CET
kev: see this http://apfelwiki.de/wiki/Main/K750i for some links to tools, which do that (in general, not only for the K750i.

I added it also to the post for other people

Stefan Bucher @ 30.09.2005 20:45 CET
chregu, the link in the post to the Apfelwiki lacks the final 'i'.

Good link, anyway.

chregu @ 30.09.2005 20:47 CET
Oops. fixed and thanks.

Dave Walton @ 05.10.2005 12:38 CET
Hi. I too was wondering about getting rid of the ._ files from my K750i when using Mac iTunes to transfer mp3 files, but unfortunately your "help" is in German. Can you please direct me to the tools I need to fix this problem that I can understand in English. I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!

chregu @ 05.10.2005 12:43 CET
Dave: Go to http://apfelwiki.de/wiki/Main/K750i#toc12 (section titled with "Bitte keine .DS_Store Dateien im Handy") and click those 4 links, they all point to english pages.

Dave @ 05.10.2005 16:30 CET
Thanks so much chegru, I've tried it out and it works great! I assumed they were some kind of nonsense files added by my eMac, but didn't know how to get rid of them when using "delete" on my phone didn't work. This was the only internet page I could find with any info about this problem so thanks for helping me navigate through the German!

Is there any way to use the k750i camera as a webcam? Being bluetooth it would be a pretty handy wireless webcam.

manorath @ 01.02.2006 17:07 CET

jmirc is nice. Another must-have goodie is Opera Mini (mini.opera.com) for your browsing needs.

arnold @ 01.10.2006 18:17 CET

Sasika G @ 18.10.2006 08:24 CET
is there any way that i can watch mpeg files from my k750i. or are there any free movie converters that allow files to be converted to 3GP

VaDeR @ 21.10.2006 08:42 CET
Free movie converter: Nokia Multimedia Converter Pro 2.0 is simply the best .mpeg/.avi/whatever video file => .3gp... It's absolutely free but i think that if you download it from nokia's home page it may require you to register so better take it from some other place... use GOOGLE man :)

viv @ 31.10.2006 10:55 CET
