Hello,
Today I just few mins. ago got my new HTC Wildfire, it was launched today in India. I don't have my old phone (Nokia E-72) as it was stolen. I have synced my contacts on zyb.com but they don't have HTC Wildfire listed on their website. So i have exported the contacts to VCF format.
1. How do I import the VCF into the Wildfire ?
2. Does HTC provides any PC suite like Nokia does ?
Thanks.

The best way to get your contacts onto your phone would be to...
Make a Google Mail account
Upload your contacts to your mail account
Link your phone with your new/existing Gmail account
Watch your contacts magically appear
As for a sync suite, There is one, but I have never used it.

this is a newbie question.. how can i insert all my contacts from mu htc diamond to htc magic?
Save the contacts from your Diamond on the SIM card and tell the Magic to import contacts from it.
they are over 350... sim doesn't fit so much..
Maybe you can sync them to your computer? HTC Sync? I guess it is available for the Diamond.
i am workin' on that.. i i'll tell you in a minute what happened.. thanx in advance!
still nothing.... any other idea?
1. Export as CSV in Outlook or from phone
2. Open Gmail Account
3. Import Contacts
4. Sync Phone With Gmail (Google Account) Import Contacts
Worked for ME
do you have any program to export my contacts as csv?
I hate to break it to you, but you all failed miserably.
1. Sync with your gmail account your contacts and calendar via activesync (google sync).
2. Sync new Google branded Android phone with your Gmail account.
3. ???
4. Profit.
You guys need to really be aware of everything that is out there.
Any one who can guide me on how to change contact groups (source) from "phone" to "google" after the contact is created?
This has made me with a goddarn shatty contact list!! Even worse, I cannot sync more than a few contacts since about 95% of em got "phone" and I cannot edit them from google/contacts..
Hope you lads get my point..

I had exactly same problem with my Magic because I imported my contacts from SIM. This is how I did it.
1) Used HTC Sync app to sync contacts to outlook express
2) Export contacts from outlook express as CSV file
3) Imported into google contacts through web interface on PC (http://www.google.com/contacts)
4) Edit as you need and you will have option change group to My Contacts for each contact
This process is little laborious. You also change the view of contacts in contacts application options.

There's ExportContacts in the Market that will export your contacts as a csv file onto you SD card. Then you can import them into google contacts. That's what I did anyway.
Hi Guys,
I'm new to xda-dev and I'll get my nexus one tomorrow or on monday (DHL screwed up delivery yet again here in London).
The first most important thing for me is to import my 500+ contacts from my Nokia N97 to the nexus and I have no clue how to do this since it's a different OS.
Can someone please guide me in details asap??
I heard about the using mail for exchange sync (steps needed) and this thing called "sprite migrate" (google it as I'm barred from posting links for now) which has free apps for Nokia (symbian) n Nexus (android) to do it.
Has anyone ever used any of these?? Also I have my Nokia contacts etc. backed up on the latest version of Ovi suite if that can be used as well.
Thanks a lot and please reply.
PS: I did a search and did not find a relevant thread answering this so please make this exhaustive.
I'd focus on getting your n97 contacts into Outlook Express/Windows mail/Etc first. Most contact formats can be imported into Gmail (and thus automatically synced to your N1)
But the n97->something on windows step is pretty nokia specific so I can't help you there.
I did the same thing for my gf and her N85. First, go into your Nokia's settings and copy all contacts to your SIM card. Then when you put your SIM card into your N1, you can import all the contacts off the SIM. Voila.
Thanks guys, my phone just arrived n i'll try the simple sim copy first (how do we forget such basic things!)...if not then the sprite migrate app sounds totally brilliant after reading the manual...copies bookmarks, texts, music, pics etc too!!
i had over 600 contacts and couldnt copy it to SIM. Instead i installed mail exchange on my n97 and synced with google contacts. Then it automatically synced with my Nexus one. Good luck.
Download the nokia pc suite. Install. It will read your contacts when you connect the nokia to the pc. From the suite export as csv file.
Go to gmail, create a dummy entry with the fileds you will need. Export from gmail contacts as csv.
Then open nokia csv file in excel and also gmail csv in excel.
Copy paste nokia csv contacts to the right columns in the gmail csv file.
when done, save gmail csv file and import back to gmail. Then synch contacts form the nexus. They will magically appear on the phone.
My contacts where 548. Everything worked smooth.
If something appears wrong, then check again/correct gmailcsv file on the pc and to the same procedure again. delete contacts from gmail beforehand.
You could install MailForExchange and sync your contacts directly to Google, as per here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
I used that to migrate from N95 to N1
Thing you're SOL with the messages though, I'm afraid.

You shouldn't need to create a dummy entry. I managed to get contacts off a nokia 5800, by simply exporting the csv from pc suite and uploading it direct through gmail.
hey i am using ovi suite with my nokia phone and i have all my contacts synced there and i tried syncing them with outlook then exporting csv and importing it into gmail. but there are some faults with this. some fields are not created in outlook (like nickname) and when i have more than one number assigned to a contact sometimes the second number or the third is not added to outlook. how can i exactly export my contacts as they are on my ovi suite ?
Screw OVI. Like I said above, use MailForExchange.
Ok, a lot of people immediately advocate Google Sync. Here's the problem and it's a KNOWN ISSUE with S60. Google Sync using MfE will NOT copy the different phone #s of the same contact. This was a problem for me. Sure only like 10-20 contacts of mine had multiple #s listed under their name, but I didn't want to go through line by line and fix it.
So you can:
1) Use Outlook to deal with it which should do it flawlessly
2) Use SIM (but I highly recommend you to look elsewhere and not use this)
3) I settled and instead of bothering with Outlook and installing PC Suite and crap, I decided to use Mac OSX. I have heard friends telling me how they plug in random dumbphones into their Mac and it does it all. Yeah. It did. My N82 synced FLAWLESSLY with iSync which comes built in. This is the one time I'm going to act like a retarded Mac user and scream "OMG my mac does everything." Somehow it just handles pulling contacts off FLAWLESSLY. It got the multiple #s for my contacts. I synced it onto my Moto Milestone without any trouble. Yay!
As for your SMS and maybe other info, try this:
http://www.spritesoftware.com/ - Look for Sprite Migrate software. It's free.
I tried it on my N82 but it failed. I submitted an error log, and it seems someone else had some issues with FP1 devices, and the manufacturer is aware. However you're on S60v5 so you might have better luck. People don't care about FP1 devices anymore so I think I'm SOL. Give it a try. Trust me I've looked into this issue a lot and I've crossposted on 20 forums about this (ok more like 2-3).
GoogleSync via MfE does copy all numbers for each contact, lots of mine have multiple numbers and all made it to GoogleContacts.
Not only that, it also copied the contacts pictures, their birthdays, etc.
SPRITE MIGRATE sounds ace!

http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/migrate/how-does-it-work-
I just did the simple copy to sim and then to N1 method and then sorted duplicates out on google contacts site.
But I read about "sprite migrate" which is free and seems to transfer all messages/contacts nicely. Apps available on ovi store and android market to get u going as their instructions state. Let us know.
Easiest way ever
It's pretty simple:
1) get rid of Nokia Ovi Suite
2) Go to Nokia website and downloads Nokia Pc Suite ( i got version 7.1.51)
3) Follow on screen intructions for app install & phone connection
4) With the phone connected, click on the "contacts" icon (blue phone book). It will open Nokia Communicator, and a list with all your contacs
5) Select all of them( click on the first one, then go for CTRL + A)
6) Go to: File > Export
7) Choose a file name and location.
8) Go into: Gmail > Contacts > More actions > Import
9) Pick the csv file you just created, and have a nice and easy import
Congratulations on
Being well over a year too late
Coming up with a more long-winded solution than the one already posted
Lol @ above post.
HI
I am looking for a way to restore my contacts whick i have on outlook to my hero.....
suprisingly htc sync is not working after a rom upgrade......pls help guys
its a huge task to add contacts manually.......
HTC sync is a feature of Sense Roms ,. Unfortunately you cant have that on CM 6 based roms as they lack sense.
my recommendation for a Quick fix for you may be to flash a sense rom and sync your contacts and then change your contacts to google contacts as opposed to phone or sim contacts and then back them up on your google account.

it could be because there is a new version of htc sync on the web page for 2.1 eclair.. if you don't have it already that could be your problem

Log in to your Gmail account (the one that you used originally on your phone) on your PC and go to Contacts. In the "More Actions" menu there is an option to Import contacts. Export your contacts from Outlook to a .CSV file, then import them into your Gmail account. Once they are there, they should synchronise with your phone correctly, and from then on, if you wipe your phone, when you sign back in with your google account on the new ROM, the contacts will automatically transfer again.

Happy to help The only issue there is that you need to keep the gmail contacts up to date as well as your Outlook contacts, but it does work well
Hey what I figured out recently when I got my hero is more of a work around than an official way to do this. What I do is I select all the contacts in my outlook contacts folder, then I right click and say send as a business card. What this does is create an e-mail with all your contacts listed as business card .vcf files. All these files will appear in the new mail dialog under attachments. I right click on that particular dialog and select all - it then offers you the option to cut/copy all these vcfs - once you do that then you can just paste them in whichever folder you wish. Once they are all there just transfer them to a folder on your SD card and use the import feature thats in the contacts application. You can import from SD card and it will locate and list all those vcfs of the SD card. Thats about the best and easiest way I've found of doing this. However when I change the contact on the phone I will try obviously have to find some reverse method to get it back into outlook sychro'd Only got my hero two days ago so will figure something out soon hopefully
Title pretty much explains!
With facebook and secondary email accounts, under settings you can disable them from importing contacts into WP7's contact area... but with the main Windows Live ID you use to activate the phone, there's no tick box to disable the importing of messenger contacts.
Now my phonebook has like 300 entries of people who don't even have phone numbers... help?! Please!
Yeah! I've got the solution for you, i run into this problem as soon as i got my activation code and got my hotmail account up and running, all you got to do is go to your mail account and delete all the contacts in the contacts page then re-sync your live account from your phone and *bam* unwanted contacts are gone!

Then all your contacts store in Hotmail are gone?
I have just posted this against another similar post, would it work?
I posted this elsewhere and didnt get any real work arounds.....
(I returned my OE WP7 and returned to HD2 on WM6.5).
However, just a thought.....
MyPhone is only for WM6.5 but using ActiveSync you can sync mail, contacts, calendar & tasks with Outlook. I read on the Microsoft forum that you can download Hotmail Contacts to Outlook, and export from Outlook to Hotmail.
If I were to return to WP7, which no doubt I will do:
Contacts:
I would Sync WM6.5 with Outlook, then upload them to the Hotmail account I would be using on WP7. I remember (and may stand corrected) that when you register the Hotmail account on the device, the Contacts are automatically downloaded.
WM6.5 using Windows Live allows you to download Hotmail contacts to my phone, so I guess they would also sync.
Doesnt cure my original issue that I wanted my Phone and Hotmail contacts seperate. I may have to create an additional Hotmail account for that?
Calendar:
On my version of Outlook, I can have two calendars showing - one for the PC which is synced to my phone and one which is my Hotmail. I havent found a way to automatically sync them, but its easy tp drag an appointment from say my PC calendar to Hotmail and therefor on to WP7.
Regarding texts, theres no way like MyPhopne, just copy what you can to your sim card I am afraid.
Does that sound like it might work?
