How to edit contacts on my pc?

I see no sollution to edit the contacts on my pc? How can I open the file and edit?

Why don't you just sync them?

open your microsoft outlook, select contacts and edit them.

As simple as that

I figured that also out, but I don't want to install outlook.
Any other options? Are there freeware programs available?

Of all the junk that Micro$ have churned out, Outlook is actually a rather good program - I'd recommend it over anything else

You either get another sync software that will let you sync with the software you use to manage contacts on your pc, or connect to your pocketpc using something like http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/rce.shtml that will let you control the ppc from your windows desktop.

Ok, another question
i used to sync my device with outlook with the option of combine contacts between the two devices, the peoblem now is that i have a many duplicated contacts over 1500 contacts, is there any program or tip to remove this duplicates easly.
thank u in advance

I haven't tried it myself, but I found this on Google:

WM6.1 - Live Messenger Problem

Now, my friend gave me her Herm100 so that i can fix a few problems...
And that worked out great, i got ALMOST everything working.
Except, When she trys logging in on MSN, It Signs In with her FIRST profile.
Now, she got a new windows live account, For work use.
But every time she logs in, it takes her to her Old account.
Is there any way i can reset the Settings from Start.
Or, is there any other "Messenger" Programs. Particularly for MSN.
-Thanks

Possible Solution
If you are using Windows Live Messenger then there should be an icon called “Windows Live” in your programs menu. If it is not there then it is installed as standard in the Windows directory and is called “WLMLauncher”
Click on the icon and open the application, then click menu and account options.
You should be able to switch your Windows Live ID in there.
I hope this helps,
Dave.

I have tried but I can not seem to get this to happen on my phone.
Which version of Messenger are you using?
Also, are you synchronising your e-mail?
I am not sure but if you are synchronising your mail then it might be worth checking your server settings in active sync. This is just a guess but it might be attached to your MSN account.
I have searched the registry and there are two places where it mentions my MSN account. I deleted them but it did not seem to reset the logon under messenger. I suggest you search your registry for them and try renaming / deleting the keys referencing your account and see if that enables you to change it.
I hope some of this is of use to you, let me know the MSN version you are using, I am using Windows Live for Windows Mobile Version 10.6.0034.0800
Dave.

I posted a few attachments, check them out.

I can not seem to get my messenger to do that.
Can you please click about and tell me which version number of MSN you have?
I think a good first step would be to try reinstalling Windows Live (If you have not already done so). You can find the cab file on the following page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621
I suggest you pick "Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).zip" as it is the same version I have got and no matter what I have tried I can not get the same error as you!
Good Luck!
Dave.

Okay, now I have installed 10.6.0034.0800.
And the problem still goes on.
Its okay i guess.

Registry
I can not replicate your problem so I am only try it guess now.
Can you try doing a search of the registry and removing any reference to your windows live account and see if that changes anything?
Alternatively you could uninstall Windows Live and then remove all the registry keys relating to Windows Live and then try a reinstall.
Sorry this is getting a bit vague but I can not replicate what is happening on your phone.

I recently installed Windows Live Messenger on a HTC Vox for a friend of mine and had the same error not being able to set the account. I installed Windows Live 10.6.0033.0600 and that fixed it.

You need PIM backup or MS MyPhone for contacts.
There is no Contacts folder.

You also can use Jeyo Mobile Companion 2.0

you got them to your PC, how? Should be reverse to get to your new phone.
You can sync them through ms exchange and active sync, you can sync them through ms exchange and google, you can sync them through MS My Phone.
Perhaps you need to understand your device better as this is a basic transfer.

maybe you didn't get me right
my n73 is broken now
but i have my contacts on my pc as .vcf files

u need to know that i got a proplem with my office so i cant use it

I know of no way to convert your .vcf files back to your device without outlook.
What I would suggest is to download program called My Phone, create an account and manually enter your contacts on the website, so for future use, you can sync through the program to any WM device.
Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

thx man
but if i installed office 2003
would i be able to do it?
and if yes please tell me how

I don't know if this can help:

You can import it with outlook by going to File\Import (I think) and select the file type vcf, or use a softrware like vCard Import/Export.
There are programs (BitPim) that can convert the vcf to delimited text, etc.
Also, I believe gmail can import a vcf file, then you can set up your google as an exchange server (Set up new mail with m.google.com as your server, domain can be anything you want.)
You must have all of your contacts in 1 vcf file. I believe there is a DOS command that can merge multiple vcf files but I don't remember what it is.
Hope this helps.

Facebook associations.

The only thing that prevents me from flashing my phone to a different ROM is that i lose all the Facebook associations for my contacts. Having a lot of contacts this is a real pain to reassign them all.
Wondering if theres anyway this can be restored or backed up to Microsoft Myphone or other backup programs.

i use google sync, and it keeps them.

outlook saves the association just fine. Its just a tag in the notes field.

This really annoys me too. I use myphone to sync and that doesn't appear to keep facebook associations and I can't really be bothered to use Outlook or google.

no myphone keeps those links just fine. i flashed to another rom and everything was still linked.
also, when you look into the contacts on the myphone site there is something added in the notes field, there the link is stored.
for example i see stuff like
Code:
<sn>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxxxx</sn><HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->
<Facebook>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxxx</Facebook>
</HTCData>

don't forget the associations won't start tutti work until you link the "me"contact card to your facebook after flashing.

Interesting.... My contacts have the sn tag but don't seem to have the facebook tag for some reason. Is there something I need to do on the phone or on myphone to get it to pull this?
This is what I'm currently seeing in the other information/notes field for a contact that i've linked to facebook:
<sn>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxx</sn><FDMID>xxxxxxxxx</FDMID>
I'm running the 1.66.405.2 official UK ROM without any real tweaks to anything else.

Any way to transfer Internet Faves from WinMo to Android?

I figure I may as well give myself a few full days in Android to have a proper play (I tend to drop back into WinMo when I want to do anything).
I find that (despite clicking "no"!) my contacts from the phone automatically got backed up to my gmail account so I have those available.
I use the (internet) favourites screen in WinMo sense and have then backed up to MS My Phone.
Is there any way to transfer/export my favourites from WinMo to my Android build please?
Also could you guys recommend a decent ebook reader to read by epub books from the sdcard?
Thanks

If I remember correctly I used active sync to sync favourites, these then appeared in ie under "mobile favourites". From there you can export them to a htm file, then I followed this guide with the following program on Android!
http://www.rerware.com/MyBookmarks/default.aspx
Sorry if it's a little vague, just trying to remember when I first did it in July after weeks of googling for a simple way! Hope this helps, if not I'll try retrace my steps but I'm pretty sure this is how I accomplished it!

Thanks. I will give it a try.
What do I enter for "device id"? The serial number?

You'll need to do that on android, open the program and it should give you one to enter online I think, then upload from your pc, then in the program import and it'll give you the choice of importing all or one by one should you want to be selective

You can do that with HTC Sync. Copy your favorites to your PC, and create a folder as you see on my screen.
HTC Sync will sync your favorites to the default browser.

He could only do that if flashing a sense build though right? Other method will work on any

I have a sense build - the Desire HD build.
Thanks all.
I have uploaded to that mybookmarks app.
Need to finish my novel [winmo ebook reader] first!

worked fine, thanks.
Now how can I get it so that when I click the Internet button on the homescreen it opens the bookmarks page so I can click on my faves rather than defaulting to the last page I was looking at?
