Answer 1

I have the Silver KRZR from Rogers here in Canada and I managed to hack the MetaClasses file so it works! I will post a link to my file below, and also tell you how I made the change.
My file is here: MetaClasses.plist
Do this to make it work:
1. Quit iSync
2. Go to: /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/ PlugIns/Motorola-K1.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources
3. Replace the MetaClasses.plist with the one I linked to above
4. Restart iSync - it should work with the phone now.
Again, I have the silver KRZR, so this might not work for you specifically if you have a different one. If it doesn't, here is how you can hack on the MetaClasses.plist file.
1. Connect your phone to your computer with Bluetooth or USB (I used Bluetooth)
2. Open up iSync
3. Try to add a device, and scan for devices. It should come back with your phone and a message saying it is not supported.
4. Quit iSync
5. Open up /Applications/Utilities/Console
6. View the console.log, scroll to the bottom
7. You're looking for some text like this:
{quote:title=console.log :}Bluetooth Device Info Summary:
svc/maj/min class: 721 / 2 / 1
manufacturer: AT+CGMI
+CGMI: "Motorola CE, Copyright 2000"
OK
model number: AT+CGMM
+CGMM: "GSM900","GSM1800","GSM1900","GSM850","MODEL=K1/s"
OK
{quote}
You're looking for the two strings there ("Motorola CE, Copyright 2000", "GSM900","GSM1800","GSM1900","GSM850","MODEL=K1/s") Note the model number at the end of the second string. This is your phone's Model Number and is how iSync will identify it.
8. Go to: /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/ PlugIns/Motorola-K1.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources and make a backup of the MetaClasses.plist file
9. Open the MetaClasses.plist file in a text editor
10. Copy everything from <key>com.motorola.K1</key> (line 5) to </dict> (line 34) and paste it immediately below (you can look at my file for an example here). What we're doing is making another type of KRZR K1 subtype. We will be editing this text we just pasted in the steps that follow:
11. Change the <key> line 35 to have your phone Model number instead of K1. My model number is K1/S, so my key line reads: <key>com.motorola.K1/S</key>
12. Change the <string> line 40 to have your gmi+gmm values, which we found in the console log above in step 7. They are probably exactly the same except for the MODEL part at the end.
13. Change the model number in the <string> line 60 to be your model number which we found above. Mine is K1/S, so my line 60 reads: <string>K1/s</string>
14. Save the file and restart iSync
15 Your phone should show up as supported now.
I hope this helps. I have not tried to sync calendars, but Address Book seems to work fine.
