How to Connect iCal to a Razr

The Motorola Razr may seem simple compared to features available on smartphones today, but its heavy-duty body was built to last, and plenty of people still use them. The Razr does have some handy features, including Bluetooth syncing with other devices. This means that you can connect your Razr to your Mac and sync your iCal calendars to keep your schedule with you on the go.
