outlook or even windows live mail would do. itunes recognises files from either of them

recently got my X1 but having some difficulties transfering my contacts to my X1 from my iphone. someone help thanks.
Its easy if you have a Mac? You can sync everything from your Mac to WM devices with some sync tools. On Windows though, i dont know. Not sure if Iphone can sync with outlook.
do you ever call using iphone?
Use Zyb

if you are using windows, download itunes for windows use this to sync the iphone and outlook. After that, sync your Xperia with Outlook with activesync
Whats the easiest way to get the contacts from my iphone onto my leo ?...i believe that 'my phone' can do the job but i thought there may be an easier way to sync them to it.
Try syncing the contacts to outlook.
Iphone contacts (mac) to outlook (micro$oft) i would not of thought it possibly...i will try though
Well, if you have a PC near by you it should work, since ActiveSync syncs up outlook contacts with WM devices.
I understand that...but active sync and outlook wont connect with the iphone

Hmm, I remember I made iTunes sync with outlook before. That was a when I had the 1st Gen iPhone.
Yeah you were right...its buried in itunes but it is possible, i just dumped them to outlook, there is also an option to dump them to windows contacts but i believe that is reffering to windows address book in which case i am running windows 7 and that is no longer part of the OS.
Thanks.
No problem, I had this similar issue switching from an iPhone to a WM phone a while back.

1. Use iTunes to sync outlook with your iphone contacts
2. Use active sync your hd2 with your outlook contacts
How do you sync the Omnia 7 Calendar with your Microsoft Office Calendar (2010)?
Pretty sure it's not possible directly.
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/how-to-sync-windows-phone-7-with-outlook
Now I understand why and what to do: I have to get used to having/maintaining everything "in the cloud", which actually makes perfect sense.
I'm now maintaining all my contacts, calendar appointments, podcasts, pictures, and videos - in the cloud (my Windows Live Account).
Don't get too used to it if you don't want to. I'm sure that there will soon be sync apps available, including a SyncML client from Funambol. I'm not a fan of their stuff, but SyncML is a standard protocol (with much criticism).
The interesting thing is:-
I can create/update/edit appointments on my WP7 phone, however, these will not sync with my Windows Live Account.
If I, however, create/update/edit appointments in the calendar on my Windows Live Account, these will indeed be synced with my WP7 phone, BUT overwriting any and all appointments already created on the phone on the same dates(!), IF indeed I've turned on "Windows Live" under Calendar > Calendars on my WP7 phone.
As far as I know, I have no way of specifying whether the WP7 calendar should have priority over the Windows Live Account calendar, or vice-versa, thereby controlling the direction of the syncronization.
All this - in terms of "cloud computing" - makes perfect sense... nevertheless, it's not very practical, as I cannot create/update/edit appointments on my WP7 phone and expect the changes to appear in my Windows Live Account calendar.
As I use the Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector to get access to and maintain all my contacts AND appointments "in the cloud" in my Windows Live Account through Microsoft Outlook 2010, - the way I understand it - I have to access my Windows Live Account calendar through the WP7 browser and create/update/edit appointments there (if/when I'm on the move and do not have access to a computer with online access) in order for these to be properly transfered/updated on my WP7 phone.
Not exactly intuitive, is it?
I know it sounds strange, but i'm using gmail as cloud and it syncs perfectly between the calendar on wp7 and the calendar on gmail and the calendar on outlook on my desktop. For syncing between calendar on gmail and outlook i'm using gsyncit which is free if you're using it only to sync calendar.
Apparently it's better to use google cloud than microsoft cloud...
Hopefully, someone at Microsoft will hear of this, and take the appropriate measures... (embarrassing...)

I don't really know anyone with your calendar problem! All WP7 phones i have played with sync fine with live calendar in both ways...
Errr... And you've played with Samsung Omnia 7 as well? If yes, then please explain how you've synced your calendar.

Hi guys!
I just got my Omnia 7 yesterday and set my Live account with the phone up. It syncs perfectly both ways instantly, calendar, email and contacts. The only gripe that I have is that I dont get a notification if I receive a new email in a folder. The live tile displays only the main inbox
I bit the bullet and paid for online exchange hosting. I find the syncing is much faster then live and it removes most limitations I had like
Outlook Photos would upload to live
Company name could not be any length.
I know it's couple only but it did bug me and I hated having lot's ofl folders with the same information (contacts x 2 calandar x 2)
I was in an ATT store today to check out the Focus. I played with it for about 20 minutes but never found a file explorer app. Does Windows Phone 7 have the same access to the file structure as Windows 6 did?

Nope. And though I'd like it, not really needed. Its quite closed on how everything works. Zune app to load music, vids, pictures, Skydrive (cloud) to load documents. Marketplace for apps.
I just came from a WM 6.1 device (HTC Hermes) and it takes some getting used too. Here at work we're still on XP and Skydrive wont work with it (and they probably shoot it down) and no Outlook coordination though I suspect MS wont ignore that forever.
Android is the closest to WM devices in that you can add and access everything.
Thanks for the reply. IMHO that is a very unfortunate thing. I am assuming that the ability to customize the device through the registry as in the past is also not possible. Which makes me wonder what Windows now has to distinguish itself from the competition. From what I have seen this is a major step backwards from my WinMo 6.5 Tilt 2.
Can you explain what you meant by "no Outlook coordination"?
Past WM devices used Active Sync or WMDC to sync Contacts, Calendar, Files etc. WM7 at this time does not use those tools or talk with Outlook directly, so there is no sync with Contacts and Calendar from Outlook. I think they will add it someday, but its not there now.
I found a work around here and got my old device to upload my 1100 contacts to the Hotmail cloud, and then they showed up on my Focus. I had to build my meeting notices though for the most part.
I'm sure a File Explorer app with show up someday, but its not a deal breaker, the phone works awesome and is a huge jump from WM6. And the iPhone is no different in having no file explorer or reg editor and its the #1 selling device.
I used a reg editor on WM6 cause I had too, to create things like short cuts etc...on WM7 its not needed that I've seen.
I also use my Live account to sync contacts & calendars. I didn't want to do that initially, but it's the best way I can find. I tried all different ways to Sync direct to Outlook, or use Google, but there is no Free way of doing it (Also not stable on the programs I tried). I still use Gmail for my mail, but not for calendar or contacts.
Once done, it works very well. I can update contacts or calendars from any pc or phone and it all syncs up nicely. It was a pain to transfer all my info from Outlook to Live. It lost some of the formatting at times, but a couple hours and I'm done. Even if I were to move to another phone in the future, I'll likely keep Live as my Calender and Contacts manager. Might even move back from Gmail? I LIVE by my Calendar because I forget EVERYTHING!
I know that someone will create a way similar to a File Explorer to explore the device and sync directly with files on a PC etc. For now though just the awesome screen, excellent web viewing and speed are enough to keep this guy happy
Ive come from all WM phones like a:
HTC Tilt
HP 910C Buisness Manager
Sony Ericsson X1a
So is the lack of Outlook sync just with personal Outlook accounts? I mean, will my calendar, contacts and email sync over my corporate Exchange server as they have in the past with 6.5?

Exchange integration is better than ever. So yes.... Calendar, Email and contacts will sync over the air with corporate exchange server.

I had the same frustration when I first came to android. I have found that these three apps work best for me. I like these because you set them up once and everything stays in sync automatically.
For syncing music on PC:
- iSyncr (from Play Store): This lets you sync your itunes library with your phone.
For syncing pics, videos on PC:
- Picasa (runs on PC) The Picasa app syncs pics and videos on your PC with your Picasa account, which syncs automatically with your phone.
For contacts/calendar/tasks in Outlook
- gSyncit (runs on PC): This syncs your Outlook contacts/calendar/tasks to your gmail account, which syncs contacts/calendar/tasks automatically with your phone.
I have found this works so well, that now I use Picasa and gSyncit for syncing photos, video, and Outlook with my ipad (instead of iTunes).
Why don't you just copy and paste whatever you need from PC to your phone?

1. That would not keep things in sync (I think OP was asking about syncing). e.g., if I make a change to my Outlook calendar and a different change to my phone calendar, I want both to reflect both changes.
2. Copying and pasting every time I change something would be more work.
For the calendar you should be able to sync to Google calendar. Then as long as you use the same calendar what you put in on your phone is on your computer the next second.

Contacts sync can be done tru google account also I think it goes same for pictures and calendar. Music and videos I just use external card to copy any new in to it. I also had 3 iPhones and I never make iTunes to work on my PC. I never try but Kies could do a trick too.
