How to Sync Contacts From a MacBook With the Samsung C3050
The Samsung Status C3050 is a Java-enabled slider phone with Bluetooth capabilities. Syncing contacts with your mobile phone is normally an easy process using a USB data cable. Unfortunately, iSync does not support Samsung phones, so the Stratus doesn't natively sync with Macintosh computers. An alternative way to keep your contacts up-to-date is to pair the Stratus with your laptop and sync via Bluetooth.
