I am very new to the whole Palm thing but not to the computer thing. Anyway... I have had a regular cell phone for years of course but I really wanted to get my msn mail on my phone and also have a date book ect. So I got the crackberry but the only way I could get the MSN mail was to sign in to the web and go about it that way. What I was looking for was for the phone to just tell me I had a new message. I do have the paid version of MSN so I am able to check it through outlook on my laptop. Anyway... Thanks you do guys I have been able to at least get Microsoft Live onto my Trio 750 and as soon as I got it I upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.0 (thinking that might have been a mistake now). How in the world do I import all of my Outlook Express contacts from my laptop to this damn phone. Also is there anyway I can set-up outlook on the phone to check my various accounts (msn, Verizon, work)? Please please help and again I am sorry I am sure this is a neeewbe question.
Thanks again,
Glenn
Im not sure if you have already done this, but did you install and set up activesync. Activesync is a program that interfaces your treo with your laptop and there is also an option in activesync to save your contacts from outlook to you treo. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx Go there to download activesync 4.5, it is the latest one. Make sure you scroll towards the bottom of the page and click on the link that says "Worldwide English" Hope this answers you question.
Hi I am selling my Fuze to my brother (whenever the TP2 comes out on Tmo) and want to know the best way to transfer his contacts from his Blackberry to the Fuze. I tried the search function in both this subforum and the entire site. (also I googled it) no clear answers there and nothing here. If any could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
If you have Outlook, use Desktop Manager (Blackberry) to sync the Blackberry to Outlook using a usb cable. That will give you contacts, calendar and tasks. Then depending on the version of Windows he has XP or Vista you'll run Active Sync or Mobile Device Manager to sync Outlook with the Fuze.

$5-$10 at a phone store to transfer it if you don't know how to
great

Thanks. I just did not know enough about blackberries to know if they had something to sync with outlook. I take it I can download DM from the BB website?
Hello,
i hope this is the right place to ask this question. I got a blackberry from my company and i have a HTC Touch Pro 2. The problem that i have is that all my contacts are stored in the Touch Pro (and sync'ed with MyPhone service) and i would like to have a way to syncronize them with the blackberry (i guess it has the enterprise something). Any advice?
Thank you
Lello
What is your company email platform?
Are you allowed to install Blackberry Desktop Manager/Active Sync?
Personally I have done it this way:
Contacts on HD Mini sync'd to online Exchange account and via OggSync to Google. Was also sync'd via AS to Outlook on PC but not at present.
Google sync installed on BB and linked to same Google account. Also tried Companion Link on works laptop to link with Google but the OTA system was easier to manage.
I didn't try yet to install Desktop Manager on the BB. I tried to install Google sync on it and it doesn't work. Got a 9700 bold.
Maybe the easiest solution is to use DM/AS on a pc and sync both BB and TP2 there?
Quite probably the easiest.
I didn't do it that way as my corporate email/BB is Lotus Notes and my HD mini is actually connected to mail2web Exchange.
Microsoft wouldn't have forgotten this? Right...? :-(
I've traded up from my HD2 to an HD7. One of the features I loved on the old phone was sync'ing all my stuff up to the myphone.microsoft.com service. So I can keep old content, will always have my contacts and so forth.
But as much as I look around the HD7, I can't find any way to sync it to get my stuff on the new phone. I can't download the myphone software as WP7 doesn't recognise Cab files and the new windowsphone.live.com doesn't have any back up features just overview of the services on your phone like Xbo and Facebook account.
Seriously, Microsoft wouldn't have gotten their long standing WinMo customers reliant on their amazing back-up service and then just cast us out into the unbacked up snow would they?
Any help is much appreciated!!!

Your contacts will sync from your Windows Live Account (Ie your Hotmail Contacts).
I assume you can export from MyPhone to Hotmail?
I did think of that but it doesn't seem to be working. The account overview screen says Windows Live covers hotmail, xbox, photos and contacts but there's no option to tick contacts in the setup screen just email.
I also use an Exchange server but there's no contacts on there as my HD2 would only let you sync contacts from one or the other and I chose myphone.
Anythign else I can try - even if it's a way to export contacts and text messages from the HD2 and manually drop them into the HD7?

Here's what I did.
1. Backed up all my contacts with DotFred's PIM Backup just in case.
2. Disconnected syncing with MyPhone.
3. New local sync connection with Outlook.
4. Synced Outlook with Windows Live using the Windows Live Connector for Outlook.
5. Synced contacts on my WP7 from Live.
Sure, it's reaching around your elbow to scratch your ass but it only took me about 5 minutes tops.
I don't have WP7 yet, but on the MyPhone website, you can set certain data to restore to the phone on the next sync.
MyPhone is a Windows Mobile 6.5 service, it has nothing to do with WP7.
WP7 puts everything in the cloud so you don't need to back up the phone.
Use the Outlook connector for hotmail to sync from Outlook to Hotmail, then connect your WP7 phone to hotmail and all will be well. Emails, contacts and calendar will sync up to your phone.
I was hoping Myphone communicated with windowsphone.live.com, but that wasn't the case. I had to pirate Outlook 2007, since Outlook 2010 was unable to sync via WMDC on W7 64 bit.
I then exported my contacts to a .csv from Outlook 2007 and imported to my new live-account that I was going to use with my WP7 device.
My phone would then sync the contacts when logged in to my live-account.
someone else posted this before so they get the credit:
www.soocial.com
Create an acct with any email address. Follow the instructions to download the cab to your phone and install. Sync your contacts to soocial. Cancel that sync relationship and sync to your windows live acct.
You can sync 250 contacts this way without paying for it.

I was able to sync my Tilt2 with Outlook 2010 via WMDC and I'm using Windows 7 as well.
The issue is with 64 bit.
Windows 7 64 bit + Office 2010 64 bit or W7 64 bit + Office 2010 32 bit. I'm not sure if 32 bit Outlook would work, but I decided to go for Outlook 2007 to be sure.

Yea, I meant to notate that I'm using Windows 7 x64 as well.
I'm using win7 32 bit, so sholdnt be an issue.
Obviously I can manually put in my contacts, but I'd still be missing text messages so it's not quite ideal.
Am I just being a whinger who's hoping for a magic pixie? it's okay to say if I am!

You don't need to use myphone or outlook. All you need is your winmo 6.5 device and windows live.

Those are the instructions I used. My tilt2 sent everything up into the cloud to my live account, which then automagically dropped right back down onto my Focus. This copied over my contacts (including their pictures) and my calendar.
No software required. Didn't even have a sim in the tilt2. Sent it up to the cloud over wifi. Gotta love it.
Microsoft has another device portal that it will use for WP7. It will be similar to MyPhone. MyPhone isn't supported on WP7.

And that device portal will be available when or where? It's really a pain that you can't backup your text messages. I want to throw out my HD7 (this device just sucks big time with so many device specific problems) and exchange it for an Omnia 7, but I really want to backup my texts before so I can restore them... I haven't found any way yet to do so my e-mail and contacts are synced with Exchange and I can backup the music and pictures with Zune... but my texts...
Hello,
first I wanna thank all of you guys for this awesome Forum.
I've recently flashed the WP7 ROM to my HD2 and it works totally great.
Now my question concerning the Outlook sync.
I don't want to sync my Outlook data to the web like Hotmail, Google etc.
Is there anyway to get a workaround for that?
I was thinking of using the Fileexplorer or the USB Masstorage trick to get a Outlook csv File on the phone.
Is there a chance to sync the phone with this file, when I copie it there?
Further, does anyone of you guys know, if Microsoft has planned to update Zune or WP7 for a straight USB-Sync Outlook support ?
Sorry for my English and thanks in advance
I'm in the same boat as you..
Why on God's Green Earth can I not do anything I need to do with this phone???
Yes I understand Microsoft needed to go in a new direction for speed and functionality.. But you should have left active sync alone.. Also given me MyPhone capabilities.. at the very least..
So now what can I go?
Can I create some hotmail account just for syncing my outlook calendar and contacts?
Anyone???
