Hi,
does anyone knows how to send a contact using SMS.
When I try to do it the only option is Bluetooth or infrared.
Thanks
Saadi
You want to choose send as vcard. I don't think the HTCs have the option to send a vcard via SMS (yet )

You can send a vcard using the Palm Messaging app via mms. Select Add Media then Add vcard.
This is one of AKU3 features, I guess that the treo will get this update sooner or later (it will also get HSDPA upgrade at the same time)
Are you sure it's a new feature? If it is, it's interesting what it implies. It could open up some fabulous possiblities if the SMS transport limitations are lifted....

I can send contacts with my HTC Wizard running AKU3.2.
So you just have to wait for AKU3.2 to arive for the Palm 750v...
...and I have to wait and see when I get a 750v as well
Any way to send contact other than through MMS? It costs 5 times more than a normal SMS and I don't see why we should do it that way.
hi,
does anyone know of a software where i can send SMS to a group for the 750.
thanks
on my mda vario you could separate contacts with a ; to send to mutiple contacts.
however I couldnt setup up groups anywhere so you'de have to manually enter all the contacts every time
Hi Fellow Smartphone Users.
I have just moved over from a Treo 750V to the HTCS710
despite a few concerns playing with the handset did it in the end as i wanted a new toy.
Anyway the new version of outlook does not give you a option to select text from send messages. Some times you only want to send some text you have had in a email on to another party........How?.
I have tried sissor mobile and this will let you do it in a email you are writing but not one you have received?.
There was another program i noted Vitocopy however this does not seem to work on this handset...!
Any ideas?
Use Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5
www.jeyo.com
Sorry rahulgty
Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5 does not seem to have that function
If you go into a mail you have sent and try to access the text within the email you can see it but not copy it...
Again if someone has sent you an email you can again see the text but not access this text, other than view it.
Its crazy it is supposed to be a smarthphone.
Regards
Hello All,
I have read the beginners guide and searched. Didn't find an answered so posting my problem.
I recently bought the HTC Touch Pro. Before that I had a SE k610i. So I transferred my contacts into the sim and then when I plugged the sim into the HTC TP, i asked it to copy to my contacts.
What I then saw was all my contacts were severely messed up. such as ;lastname;firstname\1 and so on. Obviously on k610i I had saved 2-3 numbers for each person so I can understand the \1 or \2 but the rest is unbelievable.
Can someone please guide me how to correct this because I'm unable to locate a setting to change in the HTC TP.
Thanks
Vivek

Its how a SE phone saves the contacts.. I don't think you can do anything now besides syncing it back to Outlook and then ammend from there.
Or maybe you could sync your SE phone to Outlook. Verify that the first name, last name, and contact details are correct. If they are in the wrong order to begin with, means you have keyed in wrongly on your SE phone. If its ok in Outlook, then just sync it back to your PPC.
And I would suggest use Outloook as a base to sync all your phones.. Its much cleaner that way.
Yep, thats just how SE does things. It did the same thing on my Motorolas, and on my Samsungs...
Migrating contacts between SE and Touch Pro

i totally disagree with tht......i owned a SE P990i before Touch Pro and problems arising bcos of migration of contacts is bcos of Touch Pro or to put it better, Windows Mobile platform.......
WM 6 allows only 1 number entry as Mobile, hence if u have more than 2 numbers stored as Mobile in SE phone, only 1 will be transferred.....no matter which way u use.....
WM 6.0 allows only Mobile Number to be used as text messaging number....only work arnd is to save othr mobile number as work, dial it and frm call history, send sms.......
to Sync contacts between SE and Touch Pro, best way is to sync SE contacts with Outlook (select options in Outlook to store contacts as First Name, Last name or vice versa depending on ur choice) and same way, it wil be uploaded in Touch Pro.......
another thng is,, with SE, you can select Custom folder in Outlook to be synced, but Touch Pro uses default folder of Outlook (Active Profile)......so be carefull

Thank you all for your comments.
Well I had a k610i and there was no sync option on it atleast that I know off. And anyways I don't like sync with outlook. I like to keep my email contacts and the phone contacts seperate. I don't want to have a 3rd issue develop here.....
So anyways I have realised that one way or the other I would need to edit all of them one by one to correct them on my HTC. Also, on my k610i the contacts were saved properly but HTC see's contacts very differently. So what I plan to do is take a contacts backup using PIMbackup. Once its in CSV format, I'll modify it there and restore it back rather than doing it from outlook or on the phone directly.
I wish there was an easy way such as a setting where one could choose how to display the contact names and numbers. Something I really feel HTC Touch Pro lacks.
Anyways hopefully for future users of HTC Touch Pro, there will be someone intelligent enough to create a software/global settings that would allow one to do this on the phone....
thank you once again

I had the same issue afew years back when i dropped my P900i.
as Kingjack mentioned it's becuase WM platform as well as Microsft outlook way of saving contacts is not the best (or let's say the flexible) way. SE is much more flexible and better...
however, Callingrohit needs to make his new TP usable and loaded with his contatcs..
a few years back i did it as follows: (it's a long way but effective).
- Have a software to backup contacts from your SE and save it as CSV or XLS file.
- from your outlook, save contacts as CSV or xls also.
- Manually compare the columns/format of both files, and try to manupilate the SE.CSV to look like the outlook one.
- import the new SE.CSV into outlook contacts.
now you should have all your contacts in outlook, then you can easily use the Active sync with your TP.
hope this is not too complicated.
Sorry Vivek, i didn't read your last message...
seems that you already figured it out by yourself ... ;-)
Discussed the same prob on Symbian forum -
http://my-symbian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37784&start=100&sid=c0d5ae68fa4412adce277da7e4c6fe69
I guess, the best way i fugured out till now is to sync using Outlook and then edit each contact having multiple mobil fields....
i will try method suggested by hatemd also
ne one has any idea, if someone is working on improving the contacts native form on WM or any other application which allows multiple mobile numbers
I migrate myself from k610i to TPro. There's a great piece of soft for SE phones (MyPhoneExplorer) - I used this to sync SE with Outlook and then Outlook with HTC via ActiveSync. It went ok.

No problem Hatemd. Thank you for your reply. Also, thanks to kingjack.
Finally I gave up and found that editing the CSV file is too much work as compared to editing contact fields via outlook. So I have finally sync the contacts of my HTC into a new general profile of outlook (no email address configured) and then edited all my contacts and sync'd them back onto my HTC. Now I'm able to see them correctly. ...finally
But then I realised the SIM contacts are also visible under my HTC contacts menu and so deleted all the SIM contacts as they were still in the bad format as it came from the SE k610i.
I'm going to use MyPhoneExplorer for SE as suggested by _rav. Thank you for that didn't know it existed. I'll use it and convert my SE contacts properly too...
But now my main concern is I would always like to have a backup of all my HTC contacts in my SIM card too but the moment I copy even a single contact into the SIM card, it starts showing up under the contacts menu and then I have duplicate contacts which is kinda distracting and annoying.
Is there a tweak or some setting to avoid the SIM contacts from being visible in the HTC contacts menu but at the same time allowing me to copy all the HTC contacts into the SIM card.
Thanks
Vivek
Don't know about the tweak, but anyway you'll still face a problem if you save serveal numbers/details for each name.
this won't be applicable for SIM cards.
Hi
While my HD2 is away for repair i am stuck with a Nokia 2760 loan fone. Believe it or not the nokia has a feature I would LOVE to have on my HD2.
The nokia PC suite connects to the phone using Bluetooth and alerts you to new text messages etc. It then allows you to view the message and even reply.
Is there any program that can do this for the HD2?
Apologies if this has been asked before
Take a look here :
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/outreach/dnloads/smsSender.mspx
though I think it's only for sending SMS outbound
I use the Jeyo Mobil Extender ! www.jeyo.com
So, I can see my SMS Messages in Outlook, get Notify in Outlook if a new SMS there and can send SMS Messages with outlook.
Thought I'd try that MS one but just found after installing that it doesn't work in vista. Bah!
try this
