Contacts from Nokia

[macoveibp]

Hi all. I have an Artemis. I want to copy my phone contacts from Nokia E50 to it. I tried from nokia to send all contacts at once via bluetooth, but nothing. If i send contacts one by one, it works. The problem is that i have 600 contacts and probably i'll get old moving them one by one. Is there an automatic procedure?

Hi, I know how frustrated you would be at this moment but please avoid double postings. ;)

Why don't you first sync your nokia with the pc using the nokia sync program, and then sync your Artemis with the same pc? That is the surest way to have the same set of info on both devices. :D

the problem is that i don't use outlook. i have it, but active sync does't syncronize my contacts. From nokia, I uploaded all contact to outlook, but i can't syncronyze the ppc

Have you put any effort at investigating why it doesnt sync?

I think another way is to copy all contacts in E50 to SIM card and put it into your Artemis. Then you can use Artemis's SIM manager to copy all SIM contacts to your phone. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately the sim may be good only for 250 entries, with the entry name truncated to 13 characters :(

Chances are since he doesn't normally use Outlook, then it isn't check to synchronize with it in ActiveSync.

hello mate!

i had similar difficult this morning. Copying my 200+ contacts from O2 XDA Exec to Nokia 8800 Sirro.

This is how I worked it out. [Make sure, your phones are properly connected and synchronizing with PC properly before you go ahead with this].

First synchronize your XDA with outlook, making sure, that all your contacts are copied there. MS Activesync works just fine.

Next connect your Nokia phone to PC. Open up Nokia's Synchronization Software in PC Suite. Goes with the name of "Synchronize". Open it up, and follow the directions to Restore contacts from Outlook to your phone [follow directions: PC to Phone].

I successfully moved/copied my contacts and calendar reminders from XDA Exec to Nokia 8800.

One point to be noted. A couple of my contacts on XDA had Images embedded with them. [You know where u put your girlfriend's pics] When these contacts got restored, they still had images with them. But names changed to unnamed. Had to rename them once manually. I couldnt work out the reason for this, probably something that Outlooks does not support properly.

Hope this helps.
