Is it possible to put some kind of file, database I suppose, on my pocket PC and then import that into contacts? If so, to what kind of files should I export my Microsoft Office outlook contacts, where would I place it, and how would I team put it?
(I need to do this because my pocket PC will only sync notes and other files, it will not synchronise contacts, tasks, and calendar.)
PIMbackup will backup most everything, custom settings(some) all contacts and contact pictures to a single backup file which you can copy to another device and restore the backup.

Does anyone know of a way to synchronize Skype contacts between the PC and Kaiser? The roundabout way of exporting Skype contacts to a .vcf file into the synchronized device folder is an acceptable alternative, of course, but needs manual dumping of the Skype file in order to work.
Is there a way I can edit my contacts which are stored in Outlook on the device but edit them and add new contacts via the computer in a sort of spreadsheet format?
Note: I do not store contacts on the sim card itself
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.

Hi,
I would like help in how to transfer my contacts and sms messages from my sony ericsson K310i (Java based) to Samsung I8000 OmniaII (Windows Mobile based).
As for transfering contacts, i tried copying all my contacts to sim in my K310 then copy to phone on the I8000, i get weird entries in the form
LastName;FirstName/M (M: for mobile, W for work)
and it recognizes all that as a single name, i.e. if i want to edit the contact, LastName;FirstName/M will all be in the First Name field.
I think there might be a solution using K310 and a PC but i don't have a data cable and it's hard to get one currently.
Any help would be appreciated.
transfer contacts to Omnia II
if you can save your K310i contacts to a .vcf (vcard ) file then there's a windows mobile utility "vcard expert" available from the microsoft & samsung app stores that will transfer your contacts onto your Omnia II with correct formatting.
You could send this vcf file as an attachment in email to yourself then save the attachment to your device and load into the app. So you wouldn't need any data cables to do the transfer.
Thank you for your reply, it helped even if not directly. i forgot to say that i'm missing the K310i data cable not the OmniaII one (so its impossible to export contacts from K310i as the only option available is via infrared), but your info regarding .vcf files gave a new terms to my google searches.
I found an old infrared adapter. I tried first the option to export via infrared from the K310i and got a .vcf file, which when imported in outlook gave me just the first contact (although i opened in a notepad and saw all contacts there), any solutions there?
I then managed to use "My Phone Explorer" to sync contacts with outlook, then sync OmniaII with new contacts.
Now the only thing remaining is that i need to transfer my messages to the phone. My phone explorer can export messages in .sms/.csv/.txt file formats. I tried imobiletool sms backup to restore a .sms/.csv files but without luck (the WM program will not even see the file. and the pc program will give "file validation error" when tried to import). Any insight as how to import .sms messages?
Edit: I found a program that can split the single vcf file into multiple files each one for a contact, callud suppcom vcard splitter. still outlook has no right to refuse the single vcf file!
Edit: Its damn annoying that all the SMS backup/restore programs i found only restore backups created by the same program...sigh, is there no standards or compatibilty between programs??
Anyone have a solution to transfer sms to windows mobile phone, please?
Hello,
Is there any way backing up the merged contacts? I've tried HTC Sync, but its syncing only phone contacts with outlook, and not all the information.
OK, got it!
GO contacts - its free and has the ability to backup all the merged contacts into single vcf file, which can be used in the future. I also noticed that gmail offers contact import from vcf files and imported the file which Go contacts made. The export is perfect!
