Thanks for the reply Erik! So if I want to hot sync to a Bluetooth cell phone, I would have to copy all my contacts from my Entourage address book and paste them into Apple's Address Book app. Then I could use Apples iSync to hot sync Address Book to my cell phone?
That should work for me. Too bad you can't do it directly from Entourage. BTW, I have a G4 Powerbook with Idr. Would Idr be easier to use than Bluetooth? I've heard that there are a lot of cell phones that are Idr enabled. This stuff is all new to me.
