[Question] winmo to android contacts

---

I just joined the android family.

And i was wondering is there is a easy way to import my contacts with pictures and appointments and sms messages from my xperia to my magic?

thnx!

Its a few steps sadly...

1. Sync your winmo with your pc and outlook, this will get your calendar and contacts in outlook.

2. export your contacts as a csv file and then import into google using web interface. Tip create a group for your phone contacts, as by default google syncs everyone you have ever emailed. I call mine 'Phone Contacts'. On the handset you can say only sync contacts in xxx groups. This way they stay nice. You can then reassign your contacts photos in the web contacts page. These will sync down to your phone.

3. install google sync (http://dl.google.com/googlecalendars..._Installer.exe), this will then sync your outlook calendar with google, which will then sync with your phone

As for sms etc, sorry can't help you there. But you might want to look at this (http://code.google.com/p/android-sms/) sms backup program. stores all your sms's in google under a label called SMS.

Thanks

pfff,.....

Ok
Thank you for your reply!

I guess this is still faster then manual input.

For SMS: if you have or plan to have root access to your android phone: http://android.modaco.com/content/so...grator-beta-1/
