I'm underwhelmed--the iPhoto syncing is a nice feature, at least in theory. But since I tend to keep a lot of photos on my phone indefinitely, I'd hate to waste time "importing" and canceling out duplicates every time I plugged in my phone.
The other features are things that already exist, at least on newer Nokia phones. You can connect via usb or select "Browse Device" from your computer's Bluetooth menu and see the file directory of both the phone's built-in memory and the inserted memory card--then just drag and drop anything you like to the phone.
There's also a terrific open source app for iTunes called iTuneMyWalkman, which allows you to sync your library to your non-iPod device--in my case, my Nokia phone--whenever you connect it via usb.
What would be NICE to have is a Mac version of the Nokia PC Suite, which backs up messages and notes and converts movies to the proper format for your phone before uploading them. Oh well.
“We're grateful that RIM has finally decided to pay some attention to the sizable number of non-PC users that have been stuck with poor alternatives for way too long.”
