I don't know that "real interoperability" is a problem. I plug my Nokia E71 into my Mac, it syncs up my iTunes playlists, I disconnect and go on with my life. Yeah, it goes through Nokia's software running in the background, but that software is running anyway to handle the other Nokia sync operations. With one exception, the user experience is not a whole lot different than syncing with my iPod Classic. The only major exception I notice is that iTunes doesn't have to be running for me to sync my E71.
