I bought it through dynamism. I love the keyboard, it's sooo easy to type text messages. But when I called for tech support to find out how I can sync it to my MAC, I was told there is no software.
The missing sync does not work either.
So after a week of phone love.. I have to go back to the pearl

Sorry to hear that. I have a P990i myself but I am not in phone heaven. This damn thing seems to have a mind of its own. It turns itself off "to improve performance" + certain apps and the camera just wont work. Gonna bring it back and try a new one to see if it's just that one in particular. Experiencing any of this B-Line?
Anyhow, I did a little research for you. Seems like there is a way to transfer your to-do's and your calendar using software called iCal. And you can update your phone book using Vcards.
Some links:

And a post from

I somehow agree to all of the above comments but i would say its not that horrible as it is portrayed (Maybe because I own one).
To Robert nobelman: I use Mac and you are right that it does not sync with the P990i at all but there is a solution for it. There is website called
https://zyb.com/ that offers a free online backup to your phone book and calendar. You can also share and import your data through it. It runs perfectly on the Mac.
Looks like you have several options, but is it really worth the headache of figuring it all out? That, my friend, is up to you.
