I just got a new fuze. When I sync I think its gonna try to make a new profile for this phone when I want to use the old one. Does anyone know how? Also can I look at my contacts on my computer if so how (without the phone plugged in)?

when you sync your fuze, it'll make a new partnership but it'll take all your contacts from your computer over to your phone. once you've sync'd all your contacts will be available in outlook on your computer..... does that clarify what your asking? if not, be more specific...
I opened up my outlook, but couldn't find my contacts. Is there an area on Outlook that I have to look? I have over 200 numbers and I don't wanna have to put all those in by hand. Technically I can't since I don't even know where to look for them in outlook
Oh got it thanks....

Hi all
I`m pretty sure many ppl ran into this problem before me, so I hope someone will be kind and shed some light for me on this one
It seems to me that for some reason I cannot keep my contacts and other stuff on my Universal after deleting a AS relationship with my PC.
This is what I did:
Initially I sync my desktop PC to my Universal via active sync 4.5. (the synchronization includes: contacts, calendars, appointments, notes from outlook 2003)
So far so good the relationship created between the PC and the Uni fine and Now I have my contacts etc on my phone.
Now I decide I don`t wish to necessary break the relationship between the PC and the Uni, but I do not want to sync my contacts anymore.
On the AS i hit tools>options and try to remove the check from say the contacts. at that point AS welcomes me with this: "To proceed, AS must remove all Contacts on your PocketPC. Do you want to continue?" niiice.... so at this point if you say no nothing happens if you say yes guess what... all your synced contacts are gone... Now I want to keeeeeeeeeeep them.
If i try to delete the relationship from the AS, then next time I connect the Uni AS REMOVES everything that was used to set to sync without asking...[contacts,notes,calendar,tasks] I have to add that when you are deleting a relationship it does tell you that it will remove all this from the uni next time you connect it....
I tried this from my uni > active sync settings "delete" the PC from the list (aka remove the relationship) and it immediately removed all contacts etc..... even if i just try to stop the contacts from being syced with the PC it warns me that if I do this it`ll remove all contact from the uni..... ???
???
at this point I`m just sad about this because it`s not a bug certainly. Its just bad design IMO.
here are a few details about this show:
PC: MS Windows XP PRO SP2 with all updates as of now.
PPC: T-mobile MDA PRO running ROM:2.02.00 WWE -- thanks Jay...
AS: Active Sync 4.5.0 (build 5096)
Outlook: MS Outlook 2003 Standard with all the updates as of now.
Is that really possible that they actually thought this way of synchronization was a good idea???
I like to figure out a way that would allow me to keep all the data on the phone even after I deleted the AS synchronization relationship.
...going once....
Maybe not that many people got stuck with this then....
I`ll try a few things in the meantime....
WIZARD82. I have the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
Wait a minute.. are you trying to let the PC be connected with ur Uni via AS but not sync anything? I tried doing that before... I think the trick is with Outlook since AS does not provide any other option. You have to like break the connection between AS and Outlook or something.. I'll play around it when I get home.
Edit:
Hey I got it... I tried it here at the office. Just delete the current relationship and create a new one without checking anything in the list of items to be sync'ed. You still get to keep all the data on both PC and PPC!
1. Make sure the PPC is unplugged.
2. On AS, go to File -> Delete Mobile Device and just say Yes to the question.. you won't lose anything (as far as I know since I still have all my contacts)
3. Plug in ur PPC.
4. Create a new relationship without checking any options on the list of items.
That's it! Hope this helps.

Thanks, but when i sign into messenger it still asks if i want to sync, and the only option is yes. Any ideas?
mmm if you want to sign in to the msn messenger, use live messenger app shorcut instead the live shorcut on the start menu
hmmm just tried that, it still asks to sync contacts when i try to sign in. Im wondering if there is a way to disable it.
i'm after a way to do this too - seems that any which way you try to use it, it always tries to 'dump' your msn contact list into your address book
i tried other IM programs such as IM+ but none look as good as msn live just yet...

I feel the same way, ive been trying aswell but like you said it always tries to bring the contact list in. But i am sure there is a way around it.
anyone know of any *other* good IM apps we can try instead?
seems like this is a problem for alot of other users aswell, the interface is sweet but the only problem is this stupid contact sync. I really dont want to install another messaging client
well just for the record, i'm trialling 'Agile Messenger'....would prefer to have the integrated Windows Live Messenger though....
agile messenger i dont mind but like you said you cant beat the live interface. Plus isnt Aglie $20?

Thanks Menneisyys - going to check it now.
I'm really hoping I may find a pearl of wisdom in your reviews such as how to stop Windows Live syncing our contacts!

Unfortunately, currently, it's not possible. However, a new might be WLM coming very soon (I can't tell you more because of the strict rules concerning my MS MVP status.)
how about starting to develop our own IM client for WM6.
anybody interest?

Do this
with your "regular" phone book on the phone, use PIM Backup to make a backup
run messenger live (it will sync contacts, don't worry about it)
go on msn messenger, options, turn off all contact syncing
exit messenger
run PIM Backup and restore all, there will be an option to erase phonebook before restoring, do that
DONE
MSN won't sync your contacs, no MSN contacts in your phonebook =)

DO NOT DO THAT. I REPEAT. DO NOT TRY IT
I just did and after I restored all my contacts from PIM backup and I tried to
sign on msn again it deleted all of my MSN contacts.
Now the only contacts I have on my MSN list are those that were originally in my contact list.
Does anybody know how I can restore my MSN contacts?????
yikes! i cant believe this is such a big problem!
I have an Orbit and an Orbit 2. I figured it would let me sync one device's contacts, tasks, emails etc.. over bluetooth but how? Failing that, how the hell do I get contacts from one phone to the other?! It shouldn't be this hard (or me this stupid!)
sync with outlook or go to contacts and tabHold on a contact and pick Send contact->beam

Not an ideal solution for most people though? As it happens I do have access to a decent Outlook setup at work. I've also tried the one at home using the demo that came with the unit. The problem is that I don't want to maintain the sync (especially at work), but Windows Mobile bizarrely insists on deleting all the contacts from the phone again when I delete the sync relationship.

Yeah, that kinda works with tasks because I can select them all at once. However 100+ contacts done one-at-a-time isn't my idea of fun. I can't believe this is so impossible to do device-to-device. Failing that just a way of getting them onto my PC and then sending them back to my new device without having to set up an ongoing sync relationship. I only want to do this one time, to get all the contacts from one device to the other!
I'm not sure what the problem is here.
It seems to me that you would use ActiveSync to set up a relationship with the computer and Phone A (the one with the data already), initially copying all the information from the device to the computer. You would then have the info all in Outlook on the computer.
Then set up a relationship with Phone B and copy the info from the computer to the device. Then delete ActiveSync from the computer and beam further changes individually as required.
Which part of this doesn't work?

Got to this link: http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
You can download a 15 day trial of their software. Their software has a phonebook option which allows you to send the entire contacts list via bluetooth to linked devices.

Deleting the sync relationship seems to insist on the data that the relationship created being purged. So I had a situation where the data was on my new phone but once the sync relationship was removed, WM insisted on removing all the contacts that had been created using that sync too - which is absolutely braindead. At the minute I'm in a scenario where I've lost all the contacts from *both* phones, *and* Outlook and I'm very upset! Currently trying to recover from deleted items in Exchange...
Sorted, sort of
OK, I recovered my contacts from the Exchange server after an hour of being rather annoyed... And thanks to a plug in which allows multiple contacts to be selected and beamed to another device (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ppccontactsmgr-v1-6.html), I managed to get them sent to the new device. I just can't believe a modern WM device isn't capable of sending all contacts from one device to another out-of-the-box. Surely it shouldn't require an PC with an installation of Outlook to achieve what ought to be a reasonably trivial task when moving to a new device?
I hate to say it but you did buy a wm device! I have just reinstalled XP as Vista was ****! XP will soon be redundant and as far as I am concerned so will windows. We all bought into that company.....I agree entirely without outlook we are stuck. It is the one peice of software I buy happily, the rest are being ditched as they run to the end of there technological hold.

I wrote a post few days ago about my impressions with HTC Cruise and Windows. Overall I have no complains, but your "adventure" is the essence of that post. Good hardware, OS with potential, put them together and overall good, but not super.
These are simple things Microsoft should have gotten right from the beginning. Rather than building a system with a "start menu", trying to immitate Desktop Windows, Microsoft should have been brave enough to build an appropriate PDA + Phone OS...
I am not a big fun of overloading the mobile with eye-candy applications, but for example SPB did a nice job with their mobile shell series, big accessible icons, easy access to common functions, configurable and so on. Why Microsoft fails to get it straight is quite disappointing.
Anyway, I am glad you sorted this out, I am downloading that plugin as well, I am sure it will be handy at some point! (Thanks for finding this!)
I tried synching with my work exchange server and unticked all boxes bar email (i.e. contacts, tasks etc), as that was all I wanted. Although this worked, it decided to delete all the contacts I had on my phone!
Unfortunately I didnt have any backups, is there anyway to get this back? Ive had a search around, and people mention there may be artifacts left in the pim.vol file. Ive found the file (its aorund 700kb, so Im hoping there is something in it), is there anyway to extract/view the info in there?
This phone/WM6 is really beginning to seem like more trouble than its worth

I am not sure I understand you correctly.. So you unticked (NOT SYNC) with your exchange the contacts, task,mails etc. Right???
Then you delete all contacts on your phone which are now completely gone.. And as my knowledge there is no way to undo the delete.
The only way that you can get that back is to have a previous backup(which you don’t have) or to sync. With the exchange again to get it in your phone!!!
I had contacts on my phone already (that I put in by hand as and when I met people for example). I then tried to sync with exchange to get my emails, but because I didnt want contacts I unticked that box. After this sync, all my contacts were gone.
The numbers that I lost were never on the Exchange server.
I'm beginning to think my mistake was to use this as both a personal and work phone, it doesnt seem to want to do things by half. I cant comprehend the thinking that goes into deleting personal contacts if you sync with your work server.
Well first it is strange and it should be not happen to lose your existent contacts when you not choose to sync with exchange.
If you had already sync. With exchange for contacts then later you would choose to unticked then the contact would be cleaned up on the device.
Anyhow have you checked your exchange account whether you have exidently sync contacts and then later unchecked??
just to double confirm I would check the contact in the exchange account and as well in the deleted items folder

Mate, you are a genius! Just checked my Outlook contacts and they've all ended up there! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.
I think I shall leave the synching be for now anyway...
Thats great!!! First thing I would suggest you now is to make a backup of your PIM. save one copy in your memory card and one copy in your desktop.. You never know when you might need it :0)
Look in development section there are some good PIM backup software
cheers
Will do, thanks again.

DOWNLOAD the windows live app for WM sync contacts to live. Once that is done, when you log into the new phone with that live ID it will sync those contacts to the trophy.

thanks i just did this , now after i did this i went to my hotmail account on the computer and clicked on contacts to see if it went but its showing none of my contacts from my phone isnt it suppose to show on my hotmail account on the computer if they synced?
goto contacts in phone, select all, then in menu button all the way at the bottom is add to windows live( you can also add it to messenger), not sure if you need to hit sync again and logout of hotmail and then back in. took me an hour to fig that out, but so far everything on my phnoe seem to be in windows live contacts.
Nevermind only added a few.
I think I just transferred my contact to the SIM card. Not sure though.
