The Stairwell

I recently purchased a Motorola Razr V3m from Sprint at full price to avoid their wonderful 2-yr contract. The idea was to replace my current Treo 650 with a phone that has better reception and easier integration with Mac OS X. Apple lists the V3 as one of the devices that works with iSync. But to my surprise the Sprint phone does not sync with iSync 2.4 due to a firmware incompatibility that has people frustrated all over the 'net. Rumor has it I won't be able to transfer my contacts from Address Book to the V3 until possibly Mac OS 10.5 arrives. I've heard many reasons for the problem, and I don't know who's fault it is (Apple or Sprint), but I've been looking for hacks and workarounds now for a week. Here's what I've tried so far (on two different machines iMac Intel and G5 Tower), to no avail:
