Hey to all.
I just stopped by a local t-mo store and came out with a brand new MT4G.
What is the easiest way to move all contacts and appointments from HD2 (WM6.5 ROM) to Android? I have everything backed up via PIM backup on microSD card. I also have MS Office 2010 on my notebook. Can’t wait to get home and move everything to my new toy. )
Sincere thanks for a prompt answer.
Export them from Outlook and then import them to Gmail.com. when you tie your phone to your gmail.com account your contacts will transfer as well.

Hello everyone !
I have a HD2 and think of getting a Galaxy S - real soon !
I have the following issue and would like to know if there's some app available to help out! (besides the classic Outlook sync and then re-sync on the Galaxy)
Thanks a lot for your time , hopefully there's a similar thread where i can read things like this...if not , feel free to post here !
I've not used it myself yet, but I'm planning on trying Sprite Migrate:

i did mine via my gmail account, so it was a natural move, as i was already sync-ing with gmail on my windows mobile phone
I have used sprite migrate which is a free app. Worked like a charm. It even migrates your call history.

If your contacts don't have pictures on the HD2 then you can simply go into standard WinMob Contacts > select all > Beam via Bluetooth to the Galaxy S. (At least its something like that, can't remember the exact menus when I did it on my Touch HD). This method also worked for getting contacts from my girlfriend's Nokia 5800 to HTC Desire.
If you have contact pictures though, that method becomes more of a pain. I had to sync to Outlook, remove all contact pictures, then export each contact as a VCF file which were copied to the SD card and imported into android that way.
Same here when I migrated from HTC Diamond to Galaxy i7500. I was already syncing contacts & calendar with google. As far as I remeber, I followed this guide:

Hope it helps.

mIQ. Worked flawlessly for me switching between devices.
vCard Expert will save all your contacts into a vcf file that can be picked up by an Android phone.
Yooo,everyone,thanks a lot !
I used the Sprite thingy and worked beautifully....i never thought of such a smart piece of software ! Nicely done !
They even offer a complete backup solution software for us rooters / flashers , so , even better !

My contacts are stored in Windows Contact Book(My Documents>Users>MYUSERNAME>Contacts) HTC Sync provided with DHD wouldn't copy them to my phone, so I just installed HTC Sync 2.xx from Legend/Hero and it worked.
It's a good point actually.
If you have your contacts in outlook, then when you install HTC Sync from the phone it will copy all your contact details to the phone automatically.
I learnt that the hard way by syncing with my work computer and having nearly 5000 contacts copied to my phone. I had to yank the power quickly and hard reset before it tried to sync it all to gmail!

OK, I'm a newb to Android so I'm not sure I understand what you're discussing here.
Should I install HTC Sync 3.0 from the HTC website or is there a better way to get it working? The Desire HD isn't (yet?) shown in the list of compatible handsets on the HTC website for that version.
On the included SD-cart there is the program HTC Sync 3.0. You can copy the file to your computer and install it there. Works fine and you can synchronise all the contacts in outlook.

Thank you.
I've imported my contacts already via Google so that bit is OK. Has anybody had success importing the calendar entries onto the Desire HD?
Edit: OK, I had a go and yes: it's synchronised the calendar entries. But only back a month. Is there a way to extend the range so that the whole calendar is synchronised?
Edit 2: I tried something else. I don't think HTC Sync will do what I want. I'm moving from Windows Mobile/Outlook to Google/Android so I figured I really only need a one-time synchronisation. I found that Google has their own sync tool:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563
It's not compatible with the version of Outlook I'm using (2002) so I found other software called CompanionLink:
http://www.companionlink.com/android/outlook/
They offer a free 14-day trial of their sync software with which I'm uploading my entire Outlook calendar to Google and it's syncing with my phone in front of me. That's all I needed - I don't think I want to sync my Outlook calendar in the future since I won't be using Windows Mobile again. Time will tell if I'm right.
Hello,
I recently started using android on my HTC HD2 TMOUS. I downloaded Friyo_v3 from gamesquare and run it from the sd card
can someone tell me the simpliest way to get my contacts from winmo 6.5 to android.
thanks
Just export from outlook in csv format, then import that file to your gmail account.

There is an even more simple way :
In WinMo, set active sync to sync your contacts with your google account (server : m.google.com, login and password are those of your google account).

Hello all,
I've recently picked up a Desire S and it's going to be replacing my HD2. After doing some rather devilish tricks to the Desire S I need to transfer my contacts from one to the other... and I cannot find a way that doesn't involve me copying to contacts to my SIM card and then onto my Desire S.
Any suggestions? Preferably someone who has had to do this

load up Android from SD, then sync your contacts via google and and it again on your Desire S.
I'm not sure about the desireS, but the desire HD has an app called transfer data, or something. it connects the phones through bluetooth and enables you to transfer contacts, SMS, and probably calendar entries as well.
Be warned if you sync with outlook too that the Google sync is rubbish, misses out various fields, and you will almost ccertainly end up with duplicate contacts and calendar entries.
Myphonexplorer all the way for me, Google sync turned off.
i want to backup my sms/mms/call logs from HD2 on winmo to a Blackberry. is there a backup to PC option i can use to move those from one to another? i read that my backup pro does it but not the sms.
any help is appreciated.. thanks!
PS: i want to put andriod on the HD2 and am also looking for suggestions on a clean rom "upgrade"
Better if you use the PC for backup..you can sync contacts using microsoft outlook or if you want to sync contacts online i guess a 3rd party software "Sugarsync" can be use to sync your contacts
