  |  New Moto Q 9c / Mac User Hey Guys! So, I've been lurking for the last few days, and reading up on the Q 9c and Mac syncing/tethering and trying to get a good idea of the innerworkings of the different programs needed for both syncing and tethering. I do realize that there are many forum threads dealing with these issues, but sometimes I feel that I might be missing something, or it's shooting just over my head. When I receive my new Sprint Q 9c in the next few days, I want to be able to start using an iCal sync and be able to tether on the go. My Computer: MBP Intel Core Duo Leopard OS NOT running Bootcamp or any other Windows emulation software (Nor do I want to.) My Phone: Sprint Service Moto Q 9c No Tethering plan (Yet...) My questions are: Syncing: 1. I've read alot on the "Alpha" of Missingsync. Is this the correct program and build for syncing, or is there a new build out that would be better to use? Most things I've read point out the lack of Leopard support. Tethering: 1. What is the best program to use, regardless of price, between PDAnet and the other one (Forgot the name :x) for my system and my Q in terms of ease of use and options? 2. Where is the best place to look for a complete walkthrough on this set up. I've seen some, but most involve a registry edit, which I am quite wary of. Is this totally needed? 3. USB or Bluetooth tethering? Which works? (I'd perfer USB due to the lack of battery use.) 4. Data plans? Should I really invest in the tethering plan through Sprint, or for basic web browsing on my MBP would it not be needed? Thanks guys for the help, I really hope one of you "Q Allstars" can walk me through this new purchase and what it entails!  Last edited by kyleblakepeters; 01-22-2008 at 10:48 AM. |

   | I haven't tethered a Q to my PowerBook, but you can most certainly sync to iCal as well as the other iApps. You do need third party software for this purpose. Check out Mark/Space's Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. It is now Leopard compatible. -Chris

| Thanks Chris, Now I just need to figure out the answers to the tethering questions. When my Q9c arrives today, I may stop by Sprint and see if anyone there can help, or even contact my Mac buddies, but more than likely, they'll just respond with "qq, get an iPhone."
