since my last software update i am having trouble syncing my motorola v188 phone. i found the following post on the web:
V180 works with iSync but the V188 was not working for me. I added support for it by adding the folowing lines to /Applications: iSync.app: Contents: PlugIns: ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice: Contents: PlugIns: PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin: Contents: Resources: MetaClasses.plist:
<key>com.motorola.V188</key>
<dict>
<key>Identification</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.cgmi+cgmm</key>
<array>
<string>"Motorola CE, Copyright 2000"+"GSM900","GSM1800","GSM1900","MODEL=V188"</string>

    Of course, iSync should not be open when you do this, but:
    If you opened the MetaClasses.plist with a program like TextWrangler (free from BareBones) all you needed to do was find V180 and replace it with V188 (4x) then save and close the file. After that, rename the file MOTV180.tiff to MOTV188.tiff.
    You will need to reactivate syncing on your mac then plug in your phone and launch iSync then add device.

    If you have Apple's developer's tools installed, you'll have Property List Editor.app (/Developer/Applications/Utilities/).
    Other third party tools include BBEdit (barebones.com), Jedit (jedit.org) and PListEdit Pro (http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/plisteditpro.html).
