iSync a SonyEricsson k510i please…

By default, SonyEricsson’s k510i isn’t supported by iSync by default (too recent?). A k600 however IS supported. So… Why wouldn’t a k510i work?

Using a hint on MacOSX hints, I am able to sync my K510i anyway.
The entry I added to Metaclasses.plist is:

<key>com.sony-ericsson.K510</key>

        <key>Identification</key>
        <dict>

Nice one… Problem is that the contacts on my phone weren’t remotely the same as in my address book… Well, now they sort of are… Although I have the feeling that I removed some of my phone contacts while manually merging them the same contacts which were named different on my phone.
