I was trying to figure this out..
but.. i found there's no internal operation can do..
is there any software can do??
thanks a million for the answer
not that i've ever heard of
You can never do it, since all HTC devices are unable to read SMS from SIM cards!
but you still can do it,,, here's the trick:
using another phone (say NOKIA), put the SIM card in that phone & connect it to your PC, use any phone backup software ( I use Oxygen Phone Manager, its very good) & export the SMS messages to MS Outlook.
Then, import the generated outlook file into MS Outlook.
After that, use JEYO MOBILE EXTENDER (a plug-in for MS Outlook) to copy the messages from outlook to your SMS folder...
Thats the whole story, it works 100% 8)

comlicated but works
Save all your SMS automatic to Storage Card
Try this SMS/MMS/Email messages export program. It saves all your new messages into a custom directory on every incoming SMS! :shock:

I am currently using i mate JAM with Windows Mobile 2003 and i have got a new JAMIN with me now.
I want to transfer all my data including messages to the new device.
Syncronizing will not transfer any messages right?
How is the best way to proceed and what are the options to transfer the messages.
Also i want to avoid any conflicts with my pc currently the sync is PC to PHONE always.
i need to keep it that way for JAMIN as well. How to do that.
Hi,
I have just started to use Jeyo Mobile Extender for Outlook. It basically provides an Inbox/Outbox/Sent Items type folders in outlook that sync with your text messages.
This would allow you to keep all your text messages. Simply sync the JAM first to keep your messages. Then sync the JAMin to transfer them to it.
You can use it for a 7 day trial so it would do you for the transfer without the need to even purchase it. I have bought as it is handy for the enevitable hard resets.

what do you mean by "BEAM them"?? and i have all contacts in single '.vcf' file.
How shall i go about it??
When I switched from my Nokia 6620 I just saved all my contact from my 6620 in address book on my computer (using sinc for Nokia) and then opened Outlook and imported the contact from Address book to outlook. Once this is done, just use Activsinc (for touch) to sinc contacts to the touch. Worked for me. I had almost 200 contacts and it took only about 10 minutes to do it. (Ten minutes of waiting for Sinc to be completed)

Hi
the real problem for me is (its sort of irony), the day i bought Touch, my nokia 3230 died. It does not boot at all. otherwise I could have sent all contacts from 3230 to Touch by bluetooth only.
right now, what i have in my hand is only a '.vcf' file having all my contacts (which i had created on 3230 using some 'backup contacts' application).
I searched on the net a lot for the application for winMobile which can import contacts from '.vcf' file, but i did not get a single appl.
So even after starting using Touch for 5 days, i am without any contacts on Touch...
Copying contacts into SIM and then retrieving has huge lose of information

Copying contacts into SIM and then retrieving has huge lose of information
1. name and surname are stored in single field in SIM with limited characters.. so name or surname is truncated.
2. If i have stored 3 numbers for a single person, all are stored as different contacts in SIM.. so combining them in Touch will anyways be a headache
3. any photo stored in contact is not saved in SIM.
But with '.vcf' file, all above problems are taken care of. so i am searching a WM application to retrieve contacts from '.vcf' file
Any application that can convert 'vcf' file into WM recognizable format will also be of great help.
.vcf = V Card File. Microsoft address book on your desktop can read V Card Files.
However; your HTC Touch does not so you have to convert them.
Open Microsoft Outlook. Go to IMPORT - click Import .vcf file. Choose your backed up vcf files and click. This will grab your .vcf files and convert them for outlook. They will be converted to become outlook address book files (unsure of what format / extension that is - Didn't check) Outlook will sinc with your device when you connect and voila === All contacts can be on your new device in the proper format since Outlook address book is compatible with WM Devices. The End.
PS. Make sure your activsinc is set up to sincronize contacts.

Transfering your contacts from Nokia using bluetooth probably wouldn't have worked - Different format that the WM device does not recognize. It didn't work for me when I tried that first. My Nokia 6620 contacts were all .vcf files so when I sincronized by nokia to my computer my contacts automatically were saved on my computer in Microsoft address book as .vcf files.
You have them already saved as a .vcf file. All you need now is Microsoft outlook - and go to file - import - import .vcf file. voila converted and now in proper format for WM Device.

Hi...
I think outlook reads '.vcf' file as a single contact person detail. when i double-click on my '.vcf' file, which contains all the contacts, it shows up only first entry of .vcf file and not other contacts.. same thing happened when i imported .vcf file into outlook from 'file->impot->import vcf file'. It imported only first contact info of all contacts.
that means i have to first break my .vcf file (containing 250 contacts) into 250 different vcf files and then import them to outlook ???!!

Try importing to Microsoft Address book first then to see if it will open all contacts. Once this is done you (if it does work) you will have to save each .vcf contact as a seperate .vcf file seperately onto your desktop- *(Shouldn't take too long) then use outlook to import the .vcf's.
I have a sneeking suspicion though that when you did your backup you might have only backed up one contact and not all of them.
When you backup .vcf's as an address book it is no longer a .vcf extension but something entireley different (the extension eludes me right now). like I said before .vcf stands for V Card file - ( one address card or file ) not address book. I hope that I am wrong though and that the Microsoft address book will open all the contacts for you.
Otherwise, you might have to try to find a way to either fix your Nokia just to properly backup your contacts or start from scratch as I don't know of any other way.
It is simple, but takes some time.
The cellfone accepts the .vcf cards... but you will have to follow these steps:
1. Copy all your contacts to your PC using the "explorer-friendly" folder at "My Computer" - this folder appears if you have installed Nokia PCSuite.
2. Then, after inslalling ActiveSync, a folder named "Mobile Device" will appear, which control the cellphone files.
3. Open the "Mobile Device" through "My Computer" and create a folder named "Contacts" inside your cellphone.
4. Copy all your previuos contacts to the new folder.
5. Using your cellphone, open the new folder which contains the new contacts, and CLICK ON EACH ONE > the phone will ask if you want to add the contact, then click YES.
It takes some time, depending on how many contacts do you have.
Thanks a lot folks
Thanks a lot hotrod101 and ov3r
using combination of steps suggested by you, I couls import all my contacts to Touch.
Following are the steps which might be useful to anybody else as well
1. in winXP open start->accessories->"Address book"
2. click file->import->business card (vCard)
3. "Address book" builds all contacts which r there in '.vcf' file and shows in form of list of individual vcf contacts
4. connect Touch to PC and open any folder in HTC through activesync explorer
5. select all contacts displayed in "address book" and drag them to particular folder in Touch.
6. inside mobile, keep clicking on individual file, where it prompts for saving contact.
7. this way, save all contacts (really cumbersome clicking all 250 contact file, but certainly easier than typing each contact manually.
*. One loss is photo stored in 'vcf' files are not imported to Touch.
Thanks a lot all folks who took out time to reply and suggest steps which lead me to import all contacts.
still one problem...
ooooopppppssss !!!
still one problem...
if there r more than 1 mobile numbers stored per contact, only 1 number is imported (in XP Address book itself). it allows only 1 mobile, 1 landline number to be imported, not 2 or more of each type..
One more query....
One more query....
Contacts in touch also show SIM contacts.... how to turn them off and view only phone contacts (since i have stored some imp contacts on SIM... so they are shown double in contact list, one from SIM and other from phone)

Interesting problem. I don't know if importing the VCF's to Outlook would have solved that problem either. You could try to import one of the .vcf's with multiple #'s to outlook and see if all of the #'s made it. But it probably isn't going to be worth the effort. Just sinc now with your computer - then update all of the missing phone # and re sinc. unless you have a lot of contacts with missing phone #'s it shouldn't be that much hassle.
PS. Glad that you were able to get all of the contacts on there though. You must be so releived.
I don't know what to say about the SIM contacts though because I don't store my contacts to my SIM. Why not just delete the duplicate entry?

indeed i am relieved with all your help.... I did not have many contacts with double numbers.. so for such contacts, i will manually add second number...
Regarding storing contacts in SIM, it is needed when your cell stops working and u need to put your SIM in some other mobile to make call to anybody.. if no numbers r there in SIM, and ur cell stops working, I will be screwed up since i dont memorise any number

that's really a problem, cuz Touch has many fields: cel, home phone, home p.2; work, work 2 etc; but does not have a field named "cellphone 2" or similar.
so, if a contact has two cellphones registered in its .vcf file, only one number will be imported. it's an incompatibility between Nokia and HTC field arrangement.
you may solve the problem by switching one of the numbers (ex: the less used by the person) to a differente field, i.e., "car phone", but before copying the .vcf file to the phone.
that's the only thing you can solve this problem.
PS: the second number (of two cellphone numbers) is in my phone as "car phone" or as "radio phone" in my contact list.

U could look for Cellica.Contacts.Synchronizer
How to remove???
im guessing you asking how to get them from ur 750 to the X1.
Use a program called MyPhoneExplorer, copy all contacts from phone memory, they will save as VCard files. Take them from this program to a windows folder on your desktop and then transfer via ActiveSync etc etc..
Thats how i did it with mine and it worked fine
No.
I ever try to send it via BlueTooth - x1 says something about "data may be damaged"...
Outlook 2007 can read them, but my contacts with utf-8 and cyrillic unicode - but outlook use wrong character table...
For some reason you cant bluetooth contacts over.
This way worked for me, im out of ideas, anyone else got a clue??
would dashwire work?
Don't know if it's supports cyrillic

I tryed to sing in - only support windows mobie based phones.
what's about k750 ?
Doesn't work for me too, same error about corrupted or missing data.
I tried both bluetooth transfer of the complete contacts from my K800i to x1 and exporting with MyPhoneExplorer to a single vcf file and importing it to x1.
while sending a single contact with bluetooth all works ok.
Good news : )
Info.
Data in vCard must be in Quoted-Printable Encoding Format,
something about "Name;Quoted-Printable:=08=0A=0B=6E=7F"
Some models (as k750) make vCards with UTF-8 Encoding Format,
something about "Name;UTF-8:df34wedf6w54aQWERQ"
Solve.
I used Windows XP standart address book to import UTF-8 contacts (from SE),
and that address book can export in Quoted Printable Format.
But it can export only one by one contacts, so i use Ghost Automizer to record keyboard pressing, and it program helped me to export all 356 contacts : )
Then that contacts mau be one by one imported in outlook 2007, or "clicked" in xperia.
I sent them one by one via BT b/c X1 wouldn't accept complete phone book.
I tried by installing Outlook and syncing my k800 with it through MyPhoneExplorer, then syncing back to X1, it worked partially: all phone numbers are missing the + at the beginning (i save all with +39 something, and now i have them all without)
Using only Address Book will help you to keep all "+".
All of my 365 contacts saves its "+" : )
Outlook
Step 1: Use my phone explorer and sync your SE 750 contacts with the same. Then in My Phone explorer there is an option to sync the same to Outlook. Do the same. Now your contacts are in oulook.
Step II: Remove SE K 750. Connect X1 and set up Activesync (Win XP) or WMDC6.1 (Win Vista).
Sync settings select contacts to sync and all outlook contacts get transfeered to your phone.
Alternative II
In my phone Explorer export all contacts as vcards if oulook sync doen't work (although no reason for it to misbehave). Drag and drop all vcards to Outlook. it works.
Repeat step II as above.
Take Care

I used this method, but as said before, contacts were transfered without the initial +
do not use outlook.
copy vcards on x1 and run their from x1
it is the only safe way
I'm getting my X10 in a couple of days, I currently have an HTC Diamond (Windows Mobile phone).
What's the easiest way to transfer my contacts from the Diamond to the X10?
I am not familiar with winMo. can you backup/export the contact to sd card. if you can then just insert the same card in to X10 and import the contacts from sd card.

Hi, I also have this problem. I have a HTC HD with the SD card. But contacts are made in Outlook. One format andriod dont suport or recognize., do not know if there is any solution, I read earlier in a different forum that man can change the format and export from outlook and straight into the SD card. But I could not get it to work :s
open for solutions, i have like 5-10 contacs on my phone atm ;s

dude use Sprite Migrate follow the link you can transfer contacts, text messages and call logs all to android. and its free.
What i did was i sync my WindowsMobile phone with Outlook, then downloaded and ran CompanionLink for Android which basically syncs your Outlook contacts, calendar, and notes with your Google account. So if your X10 is syncing with Google, all your contacts will copy over. It's a very neat program.
I believe you have to pay for CompanionLink after the evaluation period.
Another way to do this is to copy your Outlook contacts to Gmail contacts. Google provides instructions on how to do that. For the calendar, Google provides software to sync the Outlook calendar with Google calendar.
As the previous poster stated, once you got your Xperia, you just set it up to sync with Google and that should do it. The only issue is that if you still use Outlook as your main program, there is no automatic sync of the contacts between Outlook and Gmail contacts. You may just have to pay CompanionLink for that.
Also, if you work for a company that has Microsoft Exchange servers, then the Xperia already comes with Moxier apps to sync with the info. from work.
Just backup your contact list from your windows htc,save it on his flash card,you will find a file .cts or .vct,something like that...than copy this file to your computer,than go to your google acount,find your contacts and click in import contacts,just find the backup file that u did before and upload...when u finish this,just plug your xperia to usb and google sysnc will transfer all your contacts...
I transferred my Contacts from my X2 win mobile to X10 by using Bluetooth.
Just go in and select all contacts and then beam them across.
Simples!!!

Yes you do. But once you have done it just make a backup of your contacts to your SD card then you will not have the problem again.
I am looking for a software to transfer my Text Messages to Computer. I do have the software to make backup file, but I can't find any software to export text messages as text file.
Like in Nokia PC Suite, we can export text messages to computer as CSV file.
you can use the microsoft myphone to backup everything
and you can save the messages by accessing it though your internet browser(PC) i guess

Thanks it worked, but I am looking for something with which I can export text messages in a file. A text file or excel or something like that, there is no option in MS MY Phone to export text messages to a file on local pc.
can't u use Excel to view csv files? I print (file-print) to make copies (personel records) using MyPhone. works ok. U could also select text and copy and past to ur favorite word processor program.
I've found a software known as Jeyo Mobile Companion v2.1 for the purpose. No need to use Microsoft my phone or Activesync
