Importing SMS and Contacts from WM5 to WM6

---

Hi all,

Can I export, in some way, the SMS's and the contacts from WM5 to WM6? (but the sms are more important, because contacts can be rewritten in a few minutes).

I used SPB Backup for backing up data in WM5 but I don't know if it will restore it into WM6 environment.

Thank you all,
Eth

I just installed the T-Mobile test ROM for WM6 on my handset and tried to restore from smb backup and it 'kinda' worked.

Contacts in WM6 crashes unfortunately.

I'm switching back to the TM factory WM5 rom so I can get my contacts back before upgrading to WM6 again.

Contacts are much more important for me as this is my business phone!

Would be interested to hear if anyone knows a way to do this other than manually!

Thank you my friend, I'll copy those manually...
And What about sms/mms?

THank you,

Yes, ACTIVESYNC!
Isnt a good ideea to restore contact or something else from a backup when you upgrade the phone to a different version of OS.
Just sync your contacts in WM5, flash WM6 and sync again; you'll get all the contacts back.

For PIM backup-restore see this:

you can use a pc software,Jeyo Mobile Companion21.It can export all the contacts and sms to an XML file on your disk.and it can also import them to your Phone.The XML file can be import to any kinds of Windows Mobile systems.

I found PPCPIMBackup did the job very efficiently for me (didn't quite get MMS messages entirely right though)

Thank you,
I tried Jeyo companion when I flashed from 2003 to WM5 and I was unable to restore sent messages, the content of the sent messages was blank.

Activesync? maybe, but i don't have outlook or other software of the ms office suite..

I check out PIM Backup, thank you all
