Nokia & Mac Users: Have You Checked Out doubleTwist?
As a Nokia and Mac user, I’ve been using the Nokia Multimedia Transfer to send music and videos between my phone and computer. A few readers recently told me to check out doubleTwist as an alternative. I’m not sure if I like it better than what I’ve been normally doing. What do you think?
Watch the video overview below. The most important features of this software is explained in the first minute.
It seems to offer the same purpose as the iTunes/Multimedia Transfer method, except the phone must be in mass storage mode while using doubleTwist. An advantage is that it supports multiple devices from other manufacturers. A disadvantage is that calls are ignored during transfer. Both apps are free to download.
I’m not sure why I need this on my Mac. Maybe I’m missing something. If you have a Mac, why not try it out and let me know what you think?

What do you use otherwise? I'm new to a mac, but this looks like a pretty good option for my 5800. Especially the video auto-convert ability!

I have been extremely curious about this… I'm a mac user, and I've been looking at buying either a N97 or E75 since I refuse to bow to AT&T's will for an iPhone.
But can I really get what I'm looking for? I just want a phone that is a solid phone/messaging/internet surfer, that allows me to REALLY sync with Apple address book, iCal, and my to-do's etc. Do Nokia's really sync everything? Blackberry sure as heck doesn't.

PJ Smith, I'm a long-time mac user. I have an e71 and I use iSync twice a day to sync my address book and iCal. It works flawlessly.
I have downloaded doubleTwist and will give it a try and report back. I like the interface, but one HUGE problem I can see already: No Bluetooth.

PJ Smith, I have also been using my Mac together with several Nokia phones – N70, N76 and E61 – and happily transferring and syncing everything I need with iSync and Nokia Multimedia Transfer for Mac. Works flawlessly.
