Transferring Palm Desktop contacts to PPCPE

Hiya,
I used to use my sony clie as my "main address book" and my c500's contact list as the list of contacts i call often.
Now that i have got a M5000, i would like to keep everything on the device itself. How do i transfer the contacts?
also is there a way to transfer the notes?

www.mobile-master.com might work

Re: I have used the Beaming method one by one (IR)
Try beaming them one by one, Although slow not half slow re typing them with your thumb

You can also try Chapura's Pocket Copy, although the program is not free.

How to bluetooth contacts?

Is it possible to bluetooth contacts from a Wizard to another phone?
T'other half has a Nok6670 which has Bluetooth but no Infrared, I need to copy a load of contacts from my Wizard.

...with pocket informant you can select all contacts and 'beam' them (as vcards). Automatically the transmit devices IR and BT will appear and you can transfer them to the other one who can receive them with 'receive beam'...
Without PI you can sent contacts by BT, as vcards directly out of the contactslist, but only one at a time; it would take you ages if you've got a big list...

I'm going to d/l PI anyway as it looks pretty interesting aside from this functionality. But I'm confused about what you've written above...if I try and send a vCard it just creates an MMS ??

PI doesn't appear to be able to BT contacts either.
I'm GUESSING its a feature of the ROM? I'm due to upgrade sometime next week anyhow.
Might persevere with PI though, looks good, except some poor design on the icons, its not always obvious what pressing something is going to do.

...without PI when i tap&hold a contact and choose 'send as vcard' it copies it to \temp]vcard.vcf . Then i have to rename them into the desired contactname (otherwise it will just overwrite the old vcard.vcf) before i can BT them one by one...
I guess i don't get a mms posibility because i didn't installed t-mobile stuff after hard reset.
BTW I use PocketInformant2007

you can do it, just follow these steps:
one time work
use your favorite regedit, go to
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Obex
change DWORD value of "Isabled" from 0 to 1, save changes
reset or full off
you need to make target device is discoverable
then go to contacts, highlight several items (5 at a time), tap and hold->beam contacts
once you found nokia 6670->tap to send
you can also transfer the contacts through nokia pcsuite from outlook (if the contacts are the same) through USB cable or bt from host

One contact name for several numbers

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^^

Evo Bluetooth Contacts/Address Book Transfer + BMW

I just wanted to take a moment and give back to the community that has always been there to help me out.
I drive a 2010 BMW 650i, which has bluetooth built into it. My Blackberry was able to transfer the contacts to the car so I could use the voice control of the car. When I got my Evo, for some reason the contacts wouldn't transfer to the car, or if they did, only 2 or 3 would transfer.
I finally deleted my Facebook account removed the sync account off my phone. Once I did that, my contacts synced to my car perfectly!
Just thought I'd post this on here to help out anyone who was having the same issue...

thanks! that worked like magic.
After deleting the Facebook account, every contact synchronized with my car. Whee!
Then I added the Facebook sync back to the phone and the contacts still sync.
Everything works as it should. Whee!
2009 BMW 335... HTC EVO with froyo. Yo!

I have a 2010 535i gt and have a weird issue. Only contacts with no photo assigned to the contact will sync. If I delete the contact picture, then no problem. I don't have a facebook account on the phone. Any ideas on how to fix it.

I drive a 1973 Gremlin and I have tried coutless times to get my contacts to sync...any thoughts?

It's all about ball bearings! You also need the updated Flux Capacitor ver 2.2 with the BT Stack. BT obviously meaning Broken TieRod.

Right on!!!

I love the 650i looks so sexy in black. Have you tried looking on the BMW bluetooth section of their website?

It's not just android/BMW... have the same exact issue with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Infiniti. I validated by completing a full sync after removing all photos from contacts. I later tried to resynch the photos to my phone from an online backup (myphone) and it deleted all of the photos from my online backup!! Pain in the ass!

I have an M3 and it also does the same with my Evo. Connects and drops and connects and drops all the time with the car's bluetooth. Only 2 contacts transferred over. I will try the facebook delete option and see how that works out.

[Q] Phonebook no longer works in the car

I have an HD2 and an Audi A4 (2007).
I connect the phone via bluetooth and it has been working well for the last year.
My office has just put email onto Exchange so I set this up on the phone to get my emails but now the phonebook doesn't work in the car - it connects fine but comes up no entries.
I'm wondering if it is due to outlook requiring me to have a keypad lock (which is also annoying)?
Any ideas as it is useful to have my email but not if it messes up everything else.

It sounds as though when they set up Exchange settings that they synced the e-mail, calendar and CONTACTS. So the contacts may have e-mail addresses but no phone numbers and any existing contacts were deleted.
The contacts in your computer's email program should now be the same as on your phone. Just add the missing contacts and any conacts without phone numbers.

Thanks for the advice fred_up, what seems odd is if I remove the car from the bluetooth list then re-establish the connection to the car it works fine.
But once I leave the car then go back it comes up no entries again!
I'll try unticking the contacts in the outlook sync settings to see if that does the trick.

I have a pioneer set in the car and with winmo the phonebook was working fine, but with my NANED Android it's not.
I'll be testing some other builds later this week to see if it's the build that i'm using or not.

Okay.. Got it working.. I needed to allow my pioneer to access my phone's addressbook

I have address book access set up on the car and the phone but still nothing. It actually came up yesterday then disappeared right before my eyes - how random!
Having tried everything I can think of I give up and am going to remove exchange, I'm fed up of the keypad lock it forces you to have anyway and I tried the registry tweak to remove that but as I'm no programmer couldn't get that to work either.
Thanks for your replies anyway.
