is there a program other than outlook that can handle cont

that can handle contacts?

do you mean
1 on the pda ?
2 on the pc
3 that can also sync with the pda
i think activesync only sync with outlook
but there are other sync programs which sync with
a great number of other mail programs and the likes

on the pc to edit the contacts.
what are these programs?

i think most mail programs have a kinda of contact
lotus notes, androa or what ever it's called
and windows have some program itself
it's just a matter of sync'ing between them and the pocketpc
try doing a search for them
or for intellisync or something like that

syncing contacts on vario 2 without buying outlook for vista

On my old phone (Nokia) i could sync my contacts into Windows address book on my laptop. Now I've got the Vario2 and vista on my laptop the sync will only let me download my contacts into microsoft outlook- which I don't have and do not want to pay loads more money. How do i back my contacts up or get outlook free

I recently found a program called "PIM Backup". It allows you to back the data up to a file which you can then copy off.
Try looking here or off a similar thread for the download link -

Hi.
Have a similar problem
Using Outlook Express for Email and instead of MS Office / Outlook we use Open Office [its free ]
Found a link to connect O.E. YET to try it, but it is ...
http://www.reunion.com/site-root/download_reunionforoutlook.jsp
Also if you know of a calendar plugin for O.E., please post it

i use Jeyo Mobile Companion, brilliant for backing up contacts, sending SMS via pc.
Its different to some others in the fact that you compile the sms as you would an email but it sends it via the phone, so no internet connection needed.
Its brill at work, save "un-cradling" then reply/send sms then cradle, its all done with a swift alt-tab. heh

Alternative to ActiveSync
I haven't (yet) tried it but there is a project called FinchSync (http://www.finchsync.com) which claims: "FinchSync is a tool for synchronizing contacts, appointments and tasks from Mozilla email and calendar products with a Pocket PC or SmartPhone."
If anyone has any hands on experience with this program I for one would be interested to hear about it...?

you could set up a mail2web account which is push email and has a outlook style web based interface allowing you to sync everything contacts,calendar and tasks Did i mention its FREE. www.mail2web.com

You're using Vista? The WMDC will let you Sync your phone with your Vista Contacts - no problem - infact you should now also be able to Sync your mail with Windows Mail and if memory serves your calendar with Windows calander - all things that with XP you had to have Outlook to do!
EDIT
Sorry - seem to have spoken to soon. The beta version of WMDC allowed for Syncing with those programs - I always use Outlook so I haven't even really looked at those settings since - it appears that it was something they supported in the Beta and dropped from the final edition which is quite unfortunate! (probably just trying to sell more copies of outlook). A free work around might be to use Microsoft Live Mail e-mail client (Not Windows Mail) and then install the windows live messenger and set it up to sync your contact details with Live Messenger and then the Live Mail client should then have a synced version of your contacts - just another idea - sorry bout that!

Hello guys, I have a HTC Diamond and I'm selling it becouse I boght a New, Fantastic and Excellent HTC Tattoo; now the problem is, how I can transfer all that I have in my Diamont into my new Tattoo? I mean contacts, sms, mms, appointments? There is a Possibility to do that?

You can transfer contacts and appointments through sync with a PC running Microsoft Outlook. First sync with your diamond then again with that tattoo... that is how I do. but regarding that SMS & MMS I have not tried yet

Thanks, I mst find a Windows Xp System cause in Windows 7 there's not Outlook Express.

I mean Microsoft Outlook not outlook express. I guess Tattoo can sync with OE but not by Diamond (WinMo). Winmo sync only with Microsoft Outlook which is part of MS Office. I am using Windows 7 PC and working fine.

[Q] How to export outlook contacts to HTC WITHOUT activesync

Hello,
I'm using my windows mobile devices center on my computer at work to synchronize my emails and calendar with my htc touch hd.
However, I would like to synchronize my contacts with my personal computer. My contacts are stored in outlook 2010. It's hard to believe such a common task cannot be achieved using activesync/wmdc... and I cannot find another tool !
That's why I'm asking for some help here .
Thanks in advance,
Sébastien.

Hello!
for these tasks I use PPCPimBackup.
It's a small programm for WM and is saves your contacts, messages, call logs, appointments etc. File with that data you can save on a Storage and Backup anytime.
