Seeking a Nokia or Samsung sync workaround - help!

Greetings everyone,
Apple Forums newcomer here, so be gentle with me, please.
I'm looking to purchase a new cell phone shortly, and was effectively flipping a coin between the Nokia 6111 and the Samsung D500 (or D600), until I realised neither of them are listed as compatible devices for iSync.
Now I know from digging around in here that the Nokia 6111 is a series 40 phone and thus not supported, and Samsung (for whatever buggy/proprietary software reasons) has never been supported. I caught mention of the PhoneDirector for some series 40 phones, but it doesn't seem to include coverage for the 6111 (from their page, is that incorrect?).
So, basically what I want to know is this:
Is there a program or workaround (or anything!) for either the Nokia 6111 or Samsung D500/D600 for transferring pictures/photos to your Mac?
Contacts and phone numbers I'm not so concerned with, but what I really want to be able to do is get my photos to my iBook without having to spend $$$ sending them via MMS. I don't mind if it's Bluetooth or USB (or what), I just want to be able to do it.
If not, that's cool (though I'll be disappointed) - I just want to know. It's the deciding factor on a phone for me, as I've had a Motorola v620 for about 15 months and not a day goes by where I don't want to throw it out a window somewhere (not the least of which because I've never been able to get photos off it!).
I'd appreciate any help, insight, or advice I can get.
Cheers,
-adiav.

Hi there.
I am using a nokia N70, and although the 'handset' is not supported through isync at the moment, the os (symbian 60) is. If you go to my website, I have listed a quick fix for isync that makes the phone work fine.

Your signature in 1st post was 10.8.2.
You went backwards?
Did you reformat and reinstall when you first purchased it?
If not I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you do anything else.

DO NOKIA USE SAMSUNG PARTS

I bought my nokia 6303i classic two years back from a nokia priority dealer at Mumbai. After 6 month my phone had a network problem for two days. And automatically fixed the problem itself. After that i was using this phone without any problem. Recently the same problem had started. I had dismantled all the parts and shocked to see that a chip attached on the motherbord was of Samsung. I was confused, do nokia use samsung parts for assembly of nokia phones or my phone is not original? But i have bought from a nokia priority dealer and the all the hollographic seals are opened in front of me... If anybody have any idea about this issue, pliz help...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Samsung provide parts for lots of manufacturers there is nothing wrong with your phone.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Nokia suite not syncing full contact details

Hi - I've just upgraded my 10-year old mobile to a Nokia 300. I've got the latest version of Nokia Suite, to enable me to edit my Contacts properly on-screen. Trouble is, it refuses to send the full details to the phone. Where contacts have a mobile number and a home landline (as most do!), one or the other - usually the mobile, ironically - is left out or just ignored in the sync. The shop has advised me to edit all such contacts manually on the phone itself.
Anyone know a way to force Nokia's Nokia Suite to do the sync-to-Nokia phone job properly?

It appears that telling Nokia Suite to sync is insufficient. You have to drag the full version of a contact from the PC list to the phone list and tell the suite to copy it; or vice versa.
Hope this helps anyone else suffering this infuriating "software glitch" as techsup call it.

i have itunee 11 and iphone 4 and i can't sync my apps to the iphone. it just stops on "determining apps to sync".please help

it is an itouch, i buy apps from the app store, they are purchased, they show up in my app section but when i try to sync them to my itouch they do not show up in on the itouch. i have tried to atuthorize and deauthorize the computer also few times, rebooted computer and still nothing. when i restore the firmware and have everything reinstall all over again the apps music and such, all show up. however if i buy a new app and try to sync it with the itouch it does not show up despite the fact that the computer states 'installing "......" whatever app. it happens with numerous apps, there is no rhyme and reason to why certain apps just do not show up on the itouch. the authorize/deauthorize deal does nothing to rectify the situtaion. any other ideas ?

The next iOS update won't change this.
Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?
What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
