Backup symbian contacts and restore to windows mobile device

[Megapearl]

Hello,

Is it possible to transfer contacts and sms text messages from a symbian device (nokia 6600) to a windows mobile device? (Htc Trinity)
I found enough programs to do it, but all of them are for symbian OR windows mobile, but not both...

Anyone has an idea?

Regards,
Donald.

I know what you mean, dont suppose the Nokia can be made to output data that can be read by Outlook? In which case dump the lot to outlook, then dump it back to the Trinity, et voila.

Otherwise see if it can be saved in some form of common standard... PLain text, CSV etc.


Sorry not much help otherwise

Use Nokia PC Suite to sync the Nokia phone to Outlook, then Active Sync to do Outlook to the Trinity.
Or save the contacts to the SIM on the Nokia, then import from the SIM on the Trinity.

Thanks for the tips,

Donald.

Importing SMS into WinMob is not straight forward.
But you will very probably have to start by finding a Symbian app that can export to CSV (a generic spreadsheet type format).

FYI, Yahoo Mail is quite good at converting formats!

or..... Bluetooth.....? MInd if you have alot to shift might take some time, but it's worth a punt?

have you checkt Smart GSM for windows mobile? That let's you sync your Nokia with the Trinity. For me it work very well with my old 8910!!! (I'am on WM6)

SmartGSM didn't work, it just won't connect to my nokia 6600 (symbian based phone) neither through infrared or bluetooth...
Let's search for an app that can import sms text messages and export it to a format windows mobile can read...
Any idea? anybody?
