Contacts From Winmo to Android!

---

Hello community! Well I'm pretty new to this android stuff, but i have a question. Ive been a winmo/htc geek since I gave up My Nextel 870.

Ive have a Sprint Touch (Vogue), Touch Pro (Raphael), ::current::Touch Pro2 (Rhodium).


So my Question is How Do i get my contacts from Winmo (PIM Backup) to the Evo Im getting this friday june 4th? Is there a App that uses the same file?

Easiest way is to set up with google exchange via ActiveSync from you phone. You will need to setup a gmaol account if not done already. Here is the website that will guide you through everything you need. google 0 com /mobile/sync I cant post links but im sure you get the point

Export your contacts to a .csv then import them into Google Contacts. They will all sync when you first login.

Theres a post over at ppcgeek that has a cab and everything for WM users to get the csv file. Its so easy to just follow the 6 steps and boom you got it. Thread is in HTC EVO 4g first page titled TUTORIAL*: Touch Pro2 > Evo 4G : Contact Switch

Sorry cant post links or id link it directly to you

try this... if you have a google account it is the easiest way to go about it. if not, open a google account.

google contacts

This is for setting up a Windows Mobile phone to sync with a google account, I believe the question is how to get an Android phone to sync with Microsoft Outlook right? If you just need contacts and calendar information try using HTC Sync. You can download it right from HTC and install it on your PC, it will work similar to the Windows Mobile Device Center does, but it can't do email, tasks or notes, something I feel is a real failure by HTC. If they went that far with a specific app to help the Windows Mobile community migrate to Android, without having to completely abandon the tool they use to run their lives (Outlook), then why not finish the job and make it fully functional?

Maybe we are reading two different threads, but I believe he's asking how to get his contacts, from PIMbackup(WINMO) over to his EVO 4g, which would be a google sync. So in that case, if he was to use the ActiveSync from his phone, and use Google Exchange server, he would be able to upload them to his gmail account and, then as soon as he signs into Google from his EVO there would sync up. I dont know though maybe he is asking something else.

Ok gotcha, I thought he no longer had the WM phone and just had a backup or archive file.

Ya I had to look at it for a minute as well. When you said that I went back and read about 3 more times lol. Finally read the Touch Pro 2(((Current phone))) and then it all made since.

I just did this myself in preparation for my EVO. I synced my contacts with Windows Live (available from the Marketplace) and logged in online to windows live and exported the contacts as .csv then logged into google contacts and imported the .csv
