Hi

A while ago, I bought a Trinity... It works fine but there's something that really drives me crazy... I saved the contact from my old cell to the SIM card and then copied them on my Trinity.. But now all the contacts' numbers appear with an 'own' name in my phonebook (name/M or name/H etc). Is it possible to reconcile them, so there's only one entry with all the numbers of the respective person?

Hope you can help me!

You're either going to have to do it the hard wayon your Trinity or sync to Outlook on your PC and do the editing there. Personally i'd go for the latter, but then mine came from Outlook in the first pplace and so were already in the one person - multiple number structure. They'd come from a Sony Ericsson before and that also did the same set up. Don't remember the last time i actually stored numbers on the SIM.

Is it possible to somehow send the contacts from one hand set to the other directly?

Theoretically, it is possible to send the contacts but my old sony-ericsson can't establish a connection with my trinity. However, I can send files to my Sony-Ericsson (I think there is a problem with my irda since I can't set the beam option to "always receive incoming beams" and there's nowhere an option to send something via infrared...) I've recently updated my device to WM6.1 with a ROM from this forum (with manilla)..

But shouldn't there be a built-in way to reconcile the contacts? Because WM exports contacts to the SIM in the same format (name/H;O;M;etc)
I don't have Outlook (since it isn't included in the home and student suite of Microsoft Office) and I'm definitely not gonna pay like 300 bucks for software I don't really need. I mean, why can't they make it Sync with Windows Life Mail (the program) as well?? Stupid MS^^
