Hello all,
I use Skype on my Diamond quite often. The stupid thing is that Skype Mobile (version 2.5) doesn’t retrieve my contacts from Outlook Mobile (like it does on my PC for example). So every time I want to call a contact with Skype Mobile, I need to:
1. Open the contact with Outlook Mobile
2. Copy the phone number
3. Paste the phone number into Skype
This is a complete waste of time.
I don’t want to import my contacts once into Skype because I am updating/adding contacts very often (and I would have to repeat the operation at every update). I’d prefer Skype Mobile to list my contacts directly from Outlook Mobile just like it does on my computer.
- Is it possible?
- If not, is it possible to add a feature such as “call with Skype” in Outlook Mobile contacts?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Second that question!

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 -

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!
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.

Dear All,
Previously I am using n70. when I transfer my sim contacts to touch hd, it will show duplicate name for those with more than 1 contact number in it. Now even worse is when I login to MSN, i have all the contact in it as well.. This caused a mess in my directory.
I was told that outlook can help but I am too noob, I couldnt find the directory file from the hp to be import to outlook.
Any other suggestion or proper guide on this?
thanks in advance.
Euuuh... Outlook is part of M$ Office suite, and is NOT freeware!
AFAIK, SIM can hold only one number/info per entry, so no wonder you have multiple entries per contact.
Normally you would sync your n70 with Outlook, then sort/integrate info about contact in one entry, and then sync with HD.
On HD you will want to store data in phone memory, NOT in SIM...
You could try the same with Outlook Express (which IS freeware)
Hallo , Im new here and few days ago I bought Snap, i have problem with contacts, my old phone - nokia 6280 doesnt have option to put contacts from phone to sim, I exported contacts to file with nokia pc suite but I dont know where I have to put it in my HTC. I also have a problem with Tomtom, I saw in one thread someone said about virtual cursor application, I search it and I cant find it. The more I use my Snap the more I need your help, I also want an application that will block my snap within 20 seconds when I dont use it, will you help me ?
Hi, if you need help with contact from Nokia,, I have an experience. You have to send all of contact to outlook, rename Nokia standardd contact phone from OTHER to MOBILE. Windows mobile and outlook does not work with type of contact OTHER, only with MOBILE, WORK etc. The next way should be export to excel - rename - import back.
Bye Libor
Basically, I synced my Nokia E75 contacts to Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 via the Ovi Suite and then synced my HTC snap contacts to my Microsoft Office Outlook.
Any unrecognized contact numbers (e.g. "Others" category) will be very obvious when you view your contacts on your HTC Snap as there is no number assigned to that particular contact. If that's the case, just edit that contact on your Microsoft Office Outlook with the proper contact number category (e.g. Home, Work etc) and re-sync to your HTC Snap.
Hi, I had quite the same problem while I changed from E51 to Snap. On the E51 I saved all contacts to the storage card (*.vcf). When I put the card into the snap and klicked on an contact, it asked me if I want so save the contact in the phone. I did so for all my contacts and now it´s done
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.
