gnokki
gnokki allows you to communicate with your mobile phone via bluetooth, infrared, USB, cable, ....
While Mac OS already supports the synchronization of the address book and organizer with the phone via iSync, it does not support the download of the SMS from my Nokia 6021. Not even the nokia communication center software for windows is able to do that.
Fortunately there is gnokki - a tool that can read out (and even write) nearly everything from/to your nokia mobile phone. I use it to copy the SMS from the phone to the Mac when the SMS memory of the phone gets full and SMS needs to be deleted to gain free memory in the phone.
There is no binary of gnokki available and so it needs to be compiled from the source code. Mac OS developer tools needs to be installed to get the gcc (C compiler) and then all you need to do is:
to compile it. No big deal. I disabled the UI because I don't want to have the GTK stuff installed on my Mac.
The picture shows the download of SMS nr. 50 (I have to admit that not each SMS is worth storing it on the PC but it's nice to have the option
)
I think I'm gonna write a graphical userinterface for that as my first Mac OS coding project
