iSync support for Nokia 5300 (and others)
I recently got a Nokia 5300 which isn’t official supported by iSync. But much like a number of other phones, you can add support yourself with a little courage and a text editor. The technique is described here:

But I thought I’d also post it here for posterity, especially after Nokia removed my forum post that ranked highest on Google.
Update: Nokia put the post back up. Go them!
Just add the following text to iSync’s MetaClasses.plist file, which can be found deep within the iSync bundle (drag that link to your Desktop and open it).
Update: Wade E.L. Golden sent in a great icon for the phone. Thanks Wade! Just put it in the same folder as the plist.
