I'm due an upgrade and am finally joining the smartphone club, but does anyone know if there are any compatibility issues between Windows phones and Mac computer? I only have a macbook.

Thanks

    More than likely to be issues. Amazed a mac user would go near a windows anything!
    Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.

    So long as you can get Zune for a Mac, I can't really see that you'd have any difficulties.
    And if you do decide on a WP7 phone, welcome to the club!

    Absolutely not. The only 'android' I have in my household is my mobile. My previous mobile was one of the first windows mobile phones. I keep my mind open for my next mobile and the only brand I exclude is Apple.
    Does this even remotely resemble this:
    .... Amazed a mac user would go near a windows anything!
    ETA: on the second thought it does. However, I have other reason for not going near Apple anything. It's because I am atheist, not because my religion is android.

    Do you ever give it a rest?
    In case you hadn't realised, there's plenty !!!!! available on the Jesus-Phone too....
    There are rubbish and malicious apps available for EVERY mobile operating system, in much the same way as there is for every computing operating system. It's a case of buyer beware, and use common sense.
    It gets very boring though hearing you drone on and regurgitate the same old bollox day in day out.
