Hey, I am thinking of upgrading my G4 wizard to WM6, but am curious as to how I am able to transfer all my contacts, and messages etc across.
also I am correct in thinking it is possible to reflash to wm5 if I desire?

PIM Backup 2.5
here it is
I find it easier to just let it sync with outlook after a rom upgrade. you will get all your contacts and mails back.
but make sure to use the pimbackup to keep your sms messages and call logs etc.

My push email server and pim backup started conflicting with each other after a few rom flashes so now only my email syncs with the server...I backup everything else via Pim Backup.

Hi,
I want to transfer my contacts, note ... from my old PDA2 (WM 2003 SE) to new Nokia 6220 Classic (S60 on Symbian). I have exported my contacts to some files such as .csv .txt .vcf by outlook but the Nokia communicator software dose not import said files and says "The contacts cannot be imported. Check the file format"
Thanks to help me.
Cheers

It's not a WinMo phone, right? contact your service provider. Most have the means to conduct PIM transfers between incompatible phones. Most will also charge you for the luxury. I think it's usually worth it not to have to retype every contact, when you have over a hundred...

I need to update the rom on my girlfriends phone as it thinks daylight savings happened today and it's annoying her and the rom is the one that came with the phone 1.5 years ago.
She's never backed up to activesync.
I downloaded and installed the newest active sync on her computer. (mine is running fine for my Tilt and i didnt want contacts to get all combined)
It finds her phone fine. But it doesnt show any contacts in outlook. contacts is selected in the list of things to back up.
help!~

2125 contacts don't sync to Outlook
I am having this same problem with my wife's phone. I saw where the office service pack needed to be a certain minimum level, but I took care of that and it still doesn't work.
PIM Backup is no solution for you ?
back up your contacts to the SIM. If you need more detailed back up use PIM back-up as Peter says.
You can find PIM back up in the developing and hacking forum, if I recall correctly.
I think the most comfortable way of backing up your contacts is via mail2web. just create an account and add their exchange server to your activesync settings.
there's no need for extra-software to do this.

Here is PIM Backup
Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I have a samsung i780 and ActiveSync does not detect it, I just want to hard reset it (does hard reset delete everything?) to see whether I can make it detected by ActiveSync or not.
I can not afford to lose my contacts information, Also, It will be very good to keep all sms too.
Can you please let me know how I can do that?
Thanks
try PPCPimBackup
http://www.dotfred.net/
To keep the contacts probably the easiest way it to sign up for one of the free online Exchange email accts and let the OTA Active Sync do it's magic. Personally i use mail2web. Doesn't help with the SMS though.
Other alternative that has just popped into my head is PIMBackup, seek and ye shall find on this forum. It will backup the whole thing, Contacts, Calendar, all messaging accounts, basically the whole PIM data.
+1 on PimBackup. It is downloaded as a windows mobile executable. Just copy it onto your sd card (which I hope you have).
Is there a way to restore outlook contacts directly from a file via copy /paste?
I mean like a .pst file as used by ms outlook.
did you mean outlook contact on your PDA?
please backup PIM file.
you should do what the guy above me said, or copy/paste through activesync which will convert into phone format,
anywayz i reccomend pim backup for contacts =D schedule auto backup and less hassle
um almost 99.99% of all custom roms come with it.. give it a try
Thanx guys

not entirely sure but have you tried microsoft myphone? im using it to sync everything apart storage card.
I don't know about Facebook seeing as I've never used it but PIM backup can backup all of your contacts with any amount of phone numbers and addresses. You can backup and restore directly from your HD2 with PIM backup so it's probably the easiest solution.
Is your Pc runnning with windows... i thinks so because you said smthg. about outlook. If it´s so, an you have win7 or Vista then use Windows Mobile device center
You can select which contents you want to save wand wich not...
Sry for my english, I´m from austira
microsoft myphone does the backup of contacts and if you have them linked to facebook it keeps them when restoring
Google Contacts is working great for me

I use microsoft my phone.. easiest way of doing everything from the phone without pc ....

none of the ways said already will keep the links,
i find it annoying too, cause u have to "re link them to fb"
there is one way of doing it, which is to get the facebook app.
keep it on the SD card, that way when u reflash, it wont dissapear
