It may seem like good _marketing_ sense, but apparently LG has
decided it does not make good _economic_ sense. Frankly, I can't
blame a cell-phone manufacturer for putting its resources into an OS
that holds 3/4 of the market (I know Windows holds more in total,
but I also know there is a fair number of Win98 and WinME and
server-class boxes out there which will never be candidates for
syncing to a cell phone).

I'm not a Mac-basher, either. It's _my_ computer of choice. I'm just
aware that, even with a relatively fast rate of increasing market
share, Mac OS holds only a tiny fraction of the market. I had to buy
third-party software to sync my Nokia with my Mac (iSync is not
supported on that model). I _did_ search the Internet to see what
kind of Mac support there was before I bought my phone. If you
choose to return the phones, I'd do a little shopping on-line before
choosing another brand.

You might want to use your favorite search engine to look for the
phrase chocolate "os x" and see what comes up. There may be a
relatively easy way to do this.
