Looks like Mac only buyers of the Nokia 808 are SOL:
* Mac Specific: Since Apple have removed the iSync application from Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), Nokia no longer builds iSync plugins for their phones (even for those of us who run older versions of OS X). This means that there is no easy way to synchronize contacts, calendar and tasks directly with your Mac - though various "online" options exist.

* Also for the Mac: Nokia Multimedia Transfer does not seem to receive updates anymore, and so does not recognize this phone. This is not a huge issue, because your Mac opens iPhoto and imports photos directly once you plug your phone in using "Nokia Suite" mode. For media syncing with iTunes, you can use 3rd party software such as Salling Media Sync. - Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Nokia 808 PureView Unlocked Phone with a 41 MP Camera with Carl Zeiss Optics--U.S. Warranty (White)
However, I presume that once I crank up my Windows XP via Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac - The #1 choice of customers worldwide for running Windows on Mac, I'll be fine.

Kinda sucks they left the rest of the Mac folks out to dry, though. Another golden goose shot in the head.

I mean, Mac users are the prime customer target for the Nokia 808: affluent, visually oriented, seeking out the very best in design and functionality, at any price.
