are your HotSync conduits set to sync with Outlook or Palm Desktop? If Palm desktop you can run the OutlookSwitcher utility (found on your 650 CD) to switch the conduits to Outlook. Your 750 cannot sync with Palm Desktop.

You can hide your SIM contacts by editing the registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
create a new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0
(you need a 3rd party registry editor tool).
They will still show when you search through the Lookup Field, but will not show in the standard Contacts list.

Hey all!
I've just had my SPV M5000 through from Orange (free! yay!).
My previous set up was a s follows:
Personal Phone - Nokia 6680
Work Phone - SPV M1000
I have 2 sets of contacts, work ones and personal ones. What I have been able to do until now is use the normal conatcts folder in Outlook for my work contacts - tht sync's straight to the M1000.
For my personal contacts I added a new contacts folder in Outlook and changed the Nokia PC Suite software to sync with that folder instead of the default.
This worked great! I could have seperate contacts but the same sync'd calendar for both phones.
Now, I plan to use the M1000 as my work phone and the M5000 as my personal phone. I've looked all through Activesync but can't find a way to change from the default contacts folder.
Does anyone know if it can be done? I'd rather keep them seperate since between them there's over 200 contacts. If not then I suspect I'll have to combine them and just find some way to filter it.
Thanks for looking! any help is REALLY appreciated!

Assign your contacts into catagories then use the menu item to filter them on your phones
Hi, anybody knows how data in PalmOS (such as Datebook, AddressBook) can be loaded to WinMob (Calendar, Contact) ?
I have tried to export in Palm Desktop and import from Outlook, but it seems I cannot find the intermediate file type.
Many Thanks!
You shouldn't need an "internediate file type."
Just sync your old PalmOS Treo with Outlook.
Then sync your new Treo 750 with Outlook.
It's pretty seamless.
I want to transfer my contacts from my Nokia 6620 to my HTC Touch but then thing is, if I do that via sim card, the sim will store the numbers separately if one contact has more than one number. Also, the number is not listed as "mobile", "business", or "home". Is there a program I can sync my contacts onto and sync back to the HTC Touch?
The cleanest way to do this is synch the symbian with Outlook and then synch Outlook with your PPC phone.
I dont have Outlook on desktop. =(
well not sure about touch but all my htc pda's have come with a cd with outlook on it
Okay, I guess I can just use the trial.
I have an address.dat from my old Palm Tungsten W. Not sure if any of you can help? I don't know if the Treo uses the Palm Desktop and same address.dat files?
I want to import it into outlook to sync it to the HTC, but of course the .dat file isn't in an importable format?
Does anyone know of something that will convert it to .csv or something?
I have got around this by downloading an old version of Palm desktop, deleting the address.dat file and replacing it with my old one.
I've then had to export each one as a vcf and bring it into Outlook, then sync to my HTC.
Another way to go about it:
if you still have the original Tungsten W CD you will find a utility called OutlookSwitcher (from memory under the Post Install folder).
Running the Outlook Switcher will change your HotSync conduit to sync with Outlook instead of Palm Desktop.
So:
1. Sync your TW with Palm Desktop (as a safeguard)
2. Run Outlook Switcher
3. Sync the TW with OL
4. Connect your HTC and sync with OL, making sure the conduit is set to desktop overwrite HTC
Hope this helps...

Thanks for that, but I bought my Palm from a friend and never had the install CD.
Mind you, if I'd known about OutlookSwitcher I might have been able to Google for it.
I have an interesting problem with synchronizing my Outlook contacts to my Treo 750. I noticed this using both ActiveSync installed on my PC as well as using an ActiveSync direct connect to our Exchange Server. I have about 1300 contacts that I synchronize. Most of them synchronize but there are several, non duplicated contacts, which for some reason or other just will not transfer to the Treo 750. I tried this on another phone, BlackJack, and all of my contacts moved across successfully so I am sure there is no problem with my contacts database and it must be an issue with the Treo. Any thoughts on this??
