How to export contacts to import in other phone. - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Is there a way to simple export all contacts to a universal format so that it can be easy imported into another phone.
I'm just interested in exporting names with phonenumbers, I'm not interested in any other information in the contacts, so just names+phonenumber.
I coudn't find any way to do this in windows mobile.
I guess I need a tool for this.
I'm not looking for a solution that needs outlook, but just a simple tool that exports my contacts so I can use it in another phone (non-windows mobile).
Can anyone give advice please...
thanks in advance....

hi,
I know you said you weren't looking for a solution that needs outlook, but I think that it's the easiest way to do what you are asking for... After synchronizing, follow these steps:
1. In Outlook, choose File Import and Export.
2. In Outlook, follow the instruction and export your contacts as either Tab Delimited windows or Tab Delimited MS-DOS type.
3. In Outlook, choose the fields in "contacts" you would like to export. (Just export the fields you need)
That will do it for you.
You can also try this.

Again, a 'solution' using outlook is not an option.
The tool you are referring tool does not support WM5, but thanks for mentioning anyway.
Typically microsoft to leave very important functionaly like this out of WM5 but instead you get MSN on the today page (wich I never use and even don't want to have)
This pisses me off....

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.

Se k750 Contacts - > Se X1

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

lol just take a picture and send it as an atached jpg file.
Or even easier just input your signature on the email, or send them by sms
The question is about emailing contacts as vcards so that they can be added to recipients' contacts in Outlook. SMS, jpg screenshots and other silly options like that are not suitable in many cases. I certainly don't want to send vcards as MMS attachments to business contacts.

I have faced the same issue and could not find a way to send Vcards trough PPC outlook.
However I found way go arround. I have exported all my contacts on my Desktop in Vcard format and save them in a folder (i.e Vcards) in my PPC's memory card.
On my PPC I use Resco explorer, when I need to send a Vcard I open the Vcard folder in my memory card and click send by email.
hope it helps you. cheers
If you've set up the "Me" contact correctly, just go into your "all people" list and click the arrow in your me item.
I don't use this, but is that what you're referring to?
nope this isn't it anyway thanks for the info guys... I hope someone out there knows >.< or maybe it isn't in the feature of this phone................
vCard Expert available from windows phone marketplace let me save all my phone contacts into a single vcard vcf file. Runs fine on my windows mobile 6.5 HD2.
Then i used my gmail account to send that file as an attachment. Also used the program to generate multiple vcf files to use with Outlook.
I'm using a workaround for this.
1st/ start a send vcard (MMS)
2nd/ the card is stored in folder /temp. Filename seems always to be 'me.vcf'
3rd/ attach it to a normal email using whatever kind of file explorer !!
Any kind of better solution is welcomed !!

How to import contacts and/or messages from my N97 to my Nexus One??

Hi Guys,
I'm new to xda-dev and I'll get my nexus one tomorrow or on monday (DHL screwed up delivery yet again here in London).
The first most important thing for me is to import my 500+ contacts from my Nokia N97 to the nexus and I have no clue how to do this since it's a different OS.
Can someone please guide me in details asap??
I heard about the using mail for exchange sync (steps needed) and this thing called "sprite migrate" (google it as I'm barred from posting links for now) which has free apps for Nokia (symbian) n Nexus (android) to do it.
Has anyone ever used any of these?? Also I have my Nokia contacts etc. backed up on the latest version of Ovi suite if that can be used as well.
Thanks a lot and please reply.
PS: I did a search and did not find a relevant thread answering this so please make this exhaustive.
I'd focus on getting your n97 contacts into Outlook Express/Windows mail/Etc first. Most contact formats can be imported into Gmail (and thus automatically synced to your N1)
But the n97->something on windows step is pretty nokia specific so I can't help you there.
I did the same thing for my gf and her N85. First, go into your Nokia's settings and copy all contacts to your SIM card. Then when you put your SIM card into your N1, you can import all the contacts off the SIM. Voila.
Thanks guys, my phone just arrived n i'll try the simple sim copy first (how do we forget such basic things!)...if not then the sprite migrate app sounds totally brilliant after reading the manual...copies bookmarks, texts, music, pics etc too!!
i had over 600 contacts and couldnt copy it to SIM. Instead i installed mail exchange on my n97 and synced with google contacts. Then it automatically synced with my Nexus one. Good luck.
Download the nokia pc suite. Install. It will read your contacts when you connect the nokia to the pc. From the suite export as csv file.
Go to gmail, create a dummy entry with the fileds you will need. Export from gmail contacts as csv.
Then open nokia csv file in excel and also gmail csv in excel.
Copy paste nokia csv contacts to the right columns in the gmail csv file.
when done, save gmail csv file and import back to gmail. Then synch contacts form the nexus. They will magically appear on the phone.
My contacts where 548. Everything worked smooth.
If something appears wrong, then check again/correct gmailcsv file on the pc and to the same procedure again. delete contacts from gmail beforehand.
You could install MailForExchange and sync your contacts directly to Google, as per here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
I used that to migrate from N95 to N1
Thing you're SOL with the messages though, I'm afraid.

You shouldn't need to create a dummy entry. I managed to get contacts off a nokia 5800, by simply exporting the csv from pc suite and uploading it direct through gmail.
hey i am using ovi suite with my nokia phone and i have all my contacts synced there and i tried syncing them with outlook then exporting csv and importing it into gmail. but there are some faults with this. some fields are not created in outlook (like nickname) and when i have more than one number assigned to a contact sometimes the second number or the third is not added to outlook. how can i exactly export my contacts as they are on my ovi suite ?
Screw OVI. Like I said above, use MailForExchange.
Ok, a lot of people immediately advocate Google Sync. Here's the problem and it's a KNOWN ISSUE with S60. Google Sync using MfE will NOT copy the different phone #s of the same contact. This was a problem for me. Sure only like 10-20 contacts of mine had multiple #s listed under their name, but I didn't want to go through line by line and fix it.
So you can:
1) Use Outlook to deal with it which should do it flawlessly
2) Use SIM (but I highly recommend you to look elsewhere and not use this)
3) I settled and instead of bothering with Outlook and installing PC Suite and crap, I decided to use Mac OSX. I have heard friends telling me how they plug in random dumbphones into their Mac and it does it all. Yeah. It did. My N82 synced FLAWLESSLY with iSync which comes built in. This is the one time I'm going to act like a retarded Mac user and scream "OMG my mac does everything." Somehow it just handles pulling contacts off FLAWLESSLY. It got the multiple #s for my contacts. I synced it onto my Moto Milestone without any trouble. Yay!
As for your SMS and maybe other info, try this:
http://www.spritesoftware.com/ - Look for Sprite Migrate software. It's free.
I tried it on my N82 but it failed. I submitted an error log, and it seems someone else had some issues with FP1 devices, and the manufacturer is aware. However you're on S60v5 so you might have better luck. People don't care about FP1 devices anymore so I think I'm SOL. Give it a try. Trust me I've looked into this issue a lot and I've crossposted on 20 forums about this (ok more like 2-3).
GoogleSync via MfE does copy all numbers for each contact, lots of mine have multiple numbers and all made it to GoogleContacts.
Not only that, it also copied the contacts pictures, their birthdays, etc.
SPRITE MIGRATE sounds ace!

http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/migrate/how-does-it-work-
I just did the simple copy to sim and then to N1 method and then sorted duplicates out on google contacts site.
But I read about "sprite migrate" which is free and seems to transfer all messages/contacts nicely. Apps available on ovi store and android market to get u going as their instructions state. Let us know.
Easiest way ever
It's pretty simple:
1) get rid of Nokia Ovi Suite
2) Go to Nokia website and downloads Nokia Pc Suite ( i got version 7.1.51)
3) Follow on screen intructions for app install & phone connection
4) With the phone connected, click on the "contacts" icon (blue phone book). It will open Nokia Communicator, and a list with all your contacs
5) Select all of them( click on the first one, then go for CTRL + A)
6) Go to: File > Export
7) Choose a file name and location.
8) Go into: Gmail > Contacts > More actions > Import
9) Pick the csv file you just created, and have a nice and easy import

[Q] contacts from PC to phone

Hi guys!
I have a .wab file on my PC and I don't know how to put contacts from that .wab file in my SE X2 ... Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance
the problem is, that windows mobile only syncs contacts with Outlook and with Windows Live.
What you know from Nokia PC and OVI suite, is not applied here. try to import the file into Outlook and than Sync. If not you'll need an app that reads wab! (i didn't manage to find anything useful, for syncing contacts, but there is a post on XDA)
I beleive "SysTools Wab Converter" might be useful...
I can only find demo version and it can only transfer 15 contacts, and I have 300+ contacts If someone accidently find out full version, please send me link in PM

Wab = Windows Address Book, in other words it's an outlook express adderssbook.
Just export your contacts into a csv-file, and import it to example gmail. Then hook up your phone against gmail, and you get your contacts this way to your phone.
How to export contacts ? What are you talking about? I have .wab file but not the mobile phone with those contacts. How to export .wab into .csv? I'm confused.
