We support Bluetooth, WiFi (TCP/Network) and USB sync with Missing
Sync, although from your description, that may not be the same as
"Verizon Wireless Sync". However it does mean that you can sync over
TCP/WiFi/Network with Missing Sync same as you would over USB.

Just for your info, we use the Samsung i700's and have a wireless network at
work. Several vendors make 802.11 cards that work fine with em, that allows
you to be on any wireless networks or hotspots you run across, or to get on
verizon's wireless thing (via cell) when no wireless LAN is available.

The wacky thing is, trying to explain the difference between 802.11 and cell
connections (they are both called wireless), Even stranger, verizon wireless
(and maybe others) also have what they call Wi-Fi service (but only on
certain phones, and not the i700), in addition to their normal wireless
(phone) service (and not to be confused by their Broadband
service)....Acccck!

To answer the question posed in the Subject (i700 and wireless synch with a
Mac), I used to use the activesynch stuff on an i600 and a USB cradle (free
from Microsoft), and using an 802.11 wireless network at work along with the
i700 is way way way better than that.
