I have a nokia (6300) and the O2 Orbit II(HTC Cruise/Polaris).
I interchange between these two phones on a daily basis by swapping my sim card. reason for this is because the bluetooth on nokia is a lot more compatible to my bmw (i.e contacts with multiple numbers are replicated in car navigation/phone system when using HTC WM6)
One major problem with that are my text messages are split between these two phones.
I am looking for a software that can do the following :-
1) Separately sync each mobile phone to outlook to store the messages
2) sync back from outlook to both phones so that both phone then have exactly the same messages
Thanks

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
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.
How do you transfer contacts to new phone - not via Outlook.
My Outlook syncs with my corporate network the contacts DB is huge - > 3000 entries.
My 2004 XDAII has 200 contacts - half of them personal.
I need a way of getting contacts from the old XDAII to the new HTC P3600i
I can't go via Outlook on my laptop.
One way is to put PIM-backup from DotFred on your devices and do it that way.

1. welcome to XDA-Dev
2. as a rule of thumb, you will want to read ALL my even past articles and tutorials. I've dedicated a complete tutorial on all these questions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317789
Thanks I will try these suggestions.
I actually found that I could do this pretty simply with bluetooth.
Setup a bluetooth partnership and then select all and beam contacts from old phone to new.
Hi,
there're thousands of programs for WM but one of the ver important areas is almost not touched. It is SMS syncronizing with computer.
The program I'm looking for should be able to:
1. Syncronize both ways - to and from computer
2. Support syncronizing messages from several phones into one
3. Support several accounts
4. Have threaded view option (like SMS chat in Jeyo Mobile Companion)
5. Support export of separate messages or separate threads (like Jeyo Mobile Companion)
6. Support editing the addressee name and joining several conversations into one. When travelling people often use local sim-cards and then you end up having 6-7 conversations for one person.
7. Ideally it should be able to support export to Outlook
So is there any software that could do all these things?
Syncing the HTC 7 Pro's contacts (and I suppose in other WP7 phones) with Outlook is a giant step backward from Windows Mobile 6.5 as I had on my HTC HD2. WP 7 phones (at least the HTC 7 Pro, I haven't tried any other WP7 phone) no longer includes full, direct Contacts sync with Outlook (2010 in my case), but only:
-Sync with a Microsoft Exchange server
-Sync with Microsoft 365 (cloud-based).
Those who have neither are stuck with using a Hotmail/Live ID account, install the connector on Outlook, copy contacts to the new folder that is created and then sync this new account. But there are two major problems:
-The new folder will not accept contacts that have no email address (I have 60 of those out of around 2000 contacts). The only solution is to carry a second phone like my HD2, or more realistically assign a dummy email address to these contacts. The problem is compounded by the fact that when you perform bulk transfer of your contacts Outlook does not identify which are email addressless and rejects the whole transfer.
-The "notes" field in the Hotmail account is shorter than that in Outlook 2010: beyond 1024 characters the rest of your note is truncated. This was not the case with Outlook sync in my HD2 which had the same "note" field size as Outlook.
Did I get anything wrong? Please advise. Note that I haven't yet got the 7.5 update to the ROM: I am using 7.1.
As far as I'm aware, those issues are still present in WP7.5.
You might have better luck using a GMail account for your contacts, I'm using one and it didn't have any issues with my email-less contacts, though I agree it's silly there's no direct Outlook-WP7 syncing.
