plz help
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/

Hi there, I'm pretty new to the WinMo scene, i had a touch pro 2 then went to an iphone which ive had for 2 years.
So I back my Iphone contacts up to "windows contacts" in windows 7.
Then i thought it would be as easy as using mobile sync manager and ticking a box to sync them with my HD2, but things are never so easy, there is no option to do so.
So how will i go about getting my contacts from windows onto my beloved HD2?
Try using My Phone, you can install it from the market place.

Setting up Exchange could help you. There are some free services. Also, Windows Mobile Device Center will sync your Outlook Contacts.

Unfortunately, Microsoft almost disabled Windows Contacts in Windows 7.
The recommended solution for you would be to get a Windows Live ID from www.hotmail.com.
Then, in Hotmail, go to the "People"-page. On that webpage, there is a menu link, choose: "Manage"->"Import". Choose import from Windows Contacts.
Your contacts will then be imported to Hotmail.
On your phone, install the Windows Live program, add your hotmail credentials. You can choose to sync your contacts between you phone and hotmail on a regular interval.
For your windows desktop, you can download the Windows Live Mail client from http://download.live.com
Add your Windows Live ID credentials and you now have a similar solution to Apple Mobile Me.
The only drawback is that for some incomprehensible reason Microsoft in their infinate wisdom have disabled Calendar sync from Hotmail to your phone. But, mail and contacts will sync between your desktop, the cloud (www.hotmail.com) and your phone.
Of course, you can still add your other e.mail accounts to the phone if you do not want to use hotmail for anything else than a contact sync solution
Also, because of the decisions microsoft made for Windows 7 and Hotmail, you no longer will be able to find your contacts on your computer by using the search feature on the Start Menu. The only way to find your contacts is to open the WIndows Live Mail client, navigate to Contacts and search from there.
I'm looking to move sms text messages and contacts to the N1.
I've done the csv import for the contacts but then you lose pictures and such. I just wish it had a simple sync tool for Outlook like some of the HTC phones.
Use ActiveSync to sync your contacts and calendar with Google, the Nexus will then pick them up. This saves all the info the contacts have, including the pictures.
Think you're stuck for the messages though I'm afraid.
Is there a setting for that in Sync Center?
http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/
Was just readding that.
That worked. Thanks. The pictures are a little stretched/tiny.
Any way to do that from the PC or can you only do it from a WM phone?

I did exactly this. Worked great!
I'm getting my X10 in a couple of days, I currently have an HTC Diamond (Windows Mobile phone).
What's the easiest way to transfer my contacts from the Diamond to the X10?
I am not familiar with winMo. can you backup/export the contact to sd card. if you can then just insert the same card in to X10 and import the contacts from sd card.

Unfortunately the HTC Diamond does not have an SD card.
Any other ideas?
Hi, I also have this problem. I have a HTC HD with the SD card. But contacts are made in Outlook. One format andriod dont suport or recognize., do not know if there is any solution, I read earlier in a different forum that man can change the format and export from outlook and straight into the SD card. But I could not get it to work :s
open for solutions, i have like 5-10 contacs on my phone atm ;s

dude use Sprite Migrate follow the link you can transfer contacts, text messages and call logs all to android. and its free.
What i did was i sync my WindowsMobile phone with Outlook, then downloaded and ran CompanionLink for Android which basically syncs your Outlook contacts, calendar, and notes with your Google account. So if your X10 is syncing with Google, all your contacts will copy over. It's a very neat program.
I believe you have to pay for CompanionLink after the evaluation period.
Another way to do this is to copy your Outlook contacts to Gmail contacts. Google provides instructions on how to do that. For the calendar, Google provides software to sync the Outlook calendar with Google calendar.
As the previous poster stated, once you got your Xperia, you just set it up to sync with Google and that should do it. The only issue is that if you still use Outlook as your main program, there is no automatic sync of the contacts between Outlook and Gmail contacts. You may just have to pay CompanionLink for that.
Also, if you work for a company that has Microsoft Exchange servers, then the Xperia already comes with Moxier apps to sync with the info. from work.
Just backup your contact list from your windows htc,save it on his flash card,you will find a file .cts or .vct,something like that...than copy this file to your computer,than go to your google acount,find your contacts and click in import contacts,just find the backup file that u did before and upload...when u finish this,just plug your xperia to usb and google sysnc will transfer all your contacts...
I transferred my Contacts from my X2 win mobile to X10 by using Bluetooth.
Just go in and select all contacts and then beam them across.
Simples!!!

I think I'll do it that way. Do I have to accept every entry manually?

Yes you do. But once you have done it just make a backup of your contacts to your SD card then you will not have the problem again.
