How to import a calendar without synching with Laptop

Is there anyway to import an outlook calendar into The calendar on the Wizard withou having to synch with an outlook client? I would like to synch my work diary with my wizard. I know I can do this by importing it into Outlook on my laptop and then syching with the Wizard! However Id like to do it while im at work where I don’t have my personal laptop, so can I import a pst or csv calendar file directly into the wizard? Can I synch with something like Google Calendar via gprs???

can i use microsoft outlook to sync my contact

i want to sync my contact but i dont know how to sync it onto microsoft outlook. can some one assist me

You need to export your contacts as DOS CSV from Outlook, then log into your google account and import the contacts....this will then sync to your phone.
Google have released Outlook Calender sync software, ( http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89955 ) so I hope they will create something similar for contacts....

buy gSyncit. It's cheap and good, does all you need.

And if you want push email using exchange download Touchdown

[Question] winmo to android contacts

I just joined the android family.
And i was wondering is there is a easy way to import my contacts with pictures and appointments and sms messages from my xperia to my magic?
thnx!

Its a few steps sadly...
1. Sync your winmo with your pc and outlook, this will get your calendar and contacts in outlook.
2. export your contacts as a csv file and then import into google using web interface. Tip create a group for your phone contacts, as by default google syncs everyone you have ever emailed. I call mine 'Phone Contacts'. On the handset you can say only sync contacts in xxx groups. This way they stay nice. You can then reassign your contacts photos in the web contacts page. These will sync down to your phone.
3. install google sync (http://dl.google.com/googlecalendarsync/GoogleCalendarSync_Installer.exe), this will then sync your outlook calendar with google, which will then sync with your phone
As for sms etc, sorry can't help you there. But you might want to look at this (http://code.google.com/p/android-sms/) sms backup program. stores all your sms's in google under a label called SMS.
Thanks

Ok
Thank you for your reply!
I guess this is still faster then manual input.

For SMS: if you have or plan to have root access to your android phone: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/288916/windows-mobile-sms-migrator-beta-1/

Birthdays & Calendar

Greetings,
I have a problem which I heard around the places before but haven't found any solution.
So, we have a contact - then we add a birthday date for it, after all the calendar does not remind us about it in any possible way.
I must enter an event by myself.
Writing this after almost missing the birthday yersterday of a closed one.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
P.S. I know about "Manila Birthday for Leo", but still I want to have a full synchronized contact list with calendar, can I?

Any help guys?

try entering the contact into the microsoft contact app.

you need to sync your callendar with outlook, then you will see birthdays in your HD2 in callendar

Can that be done automatically? Or you need sync with Outlook every time to add birthdays into calendar? Because after synchronizing it I may add some new ones' and still they would not be displayed.

you need to have set B'days in your contacts in the field Birthday. if you do and then you sync Contacts and Callendar with Outlook, then Outlook will automatically assign B'days to your callendar. if you enter birthday to a contact after syncing, then you ofcourse need to sync again.
I synchronize my HD2 with Outlook once per week to be updated as much as possible.
also in case of losing your device you have all contacts and callendar in Outlook

Or if you don't use outlook, you can install "Manila Birthday", it detects all birthday entries in your contacts, and adds calendar entries for them.
You can even set it to repeat those entries every year.
Works very well here.

use a free app called birthday2calendar. it scans your contacts and syncs the birthdays with the calendar. works fine here so far and it's small and free!

Thanks for answers people, as far as I understood we can't sync it automatically like in Nokia phones. Too bad...

You can do it automatically only if you use full Outlook features. It's quite normal for Microsoft to promote its own products...

[Q] How to synchronize contacts

Hi, I have used standard Outlook contacts synchronization through Windows Mobile Device Center on my WM 6.5. However, as this is not working with WP7 and I don't have activated version of WP in order to synchronize through live, is there any other way to get my contacts into WP7? Thanks a lot.

Hi,
For contacts and calendar sync I use hotmail account.
First I installed small app called Connector. After Outlook restart you will be prompted to configure Hotmail account. After it is finished you will see in Outlook new tree with your hotmail. When you add there contacts and calendar tasks they will be synchronized with hotmail.
On WP7 device you have to configure Hotmail Exchange server with the following way:
Server / URL: m.hotmail.com
User name: Enter full email address, for example: [email protected]
Domain: Leave this blank
SSL: Enable this
Mail, Contacts, Calendar: All can be enabled
For me it works!

Yes. Export from Outlook to a CSV file. Then import CSV in Gmail. Sync your phone with Gmail and you are done It's funny how good MS supports Google services. Even your Google calendar will sync fully

I've used Google Sync App to sync MS Outlook with Google (both Contacts and Calendar) and after that I've imported Calendar and Contacts by setting Google account on WP.

Does anyone know how to get my contacts out of HD2? I suppose there will be more WP7-ROMs coming and I don't want to synchronize again with GMail and delete all the contacts I'm not interested in at all - a simple tool for backup would be enough for me, thanks in advance (and if not simple tool, please just tell me what's the easiest way to achieve my goal).
