Hi,
I've recently got a WP7 and now I am facing some minor problems. I have all my contacts backed up as vCards (.vcf), now I would like to import them to my Omnia 7, but as far as I got with google is, that I can only do it using some cloud **** (like live.com, or google), what I'm not willing to do. Is there any other way getting my contacts on my phone? I'm running Mango and my phone is unlocked btw.
Regards,

Copy them to your SIM or use Exchange

So there are only those two ways? SIM is not an option, and setting up my own Exchange server just to copy my contacts... :/
But thanks anyway.
Well the Options are to sync them via Windows Live with your main Windows Live ID, via Google or Exchange. If you Import them from your SIM or manually add them you still need to put them into one of these accounts

Is it possible to import my contacts from my Googleaccount to my Windows 6.5 Phone?
I will use my Android Phone and my Windows Phone, but i have syncronized all my Android Contacts with my Googleaccount. I need all the Contacts also on my Windows Mobile.

ther is no way, sorry
Really no way??? Sh**...that is bad. Is there really no way to became all my contacts on my Windows Mobile???
add your gmail account to activesync. select contacts. you can select email and celandar if you want. Tasks broke the sync for me.
1) Copy contacts to SIM.
2) Move SIM to WM phone.
3) Copy SIM to contacts.
4) ???
5) Profit!
I have a broken Hd2 running wp7 and all my contacts are saved through my live account. I just got used Verizon Pre plus. Unfortunately i can not use the phone unless it's activated and i am going to do that today. Do you know if Pre can sync my contacts through my live account?
hi all I have a HTC Surround using WP7 version 7390. Can anyone tell me how to back up my contacts (phone numbers) to SIM card or to pc. I am planning to reset the phone and I do not want to lost them.
Thanks
As far as I know you can't copy to the sim. However you can sync your live account and then download the list of contacts from live.com so you can keep a backup.
You cannot copy to SIM, only from SIM.
That being said, the phone emphasizes the use of the cloud (Windows Live, Gmail, etc. etc.). Your contacts should be automatically syncing to the main Windows Live ID on your phone already. So when you reset, just use the same ID to sign in and the contacts will be restored.
Thank you very much I will try to syc it with my live account. I konow it keeps the email accounts but I am not sure it will keep the numbers anyway I will try it thank you again
Hi all,
I've a problem. Touch of my HD2 doesn't work and i have Wp7 on the phone.
I haven't a Live account, then my contacts are not syncronized in cloud.
Can i have back my contacts without using my phone?
P.s. Only the touch of HD2 doesn't work.
From day one I was syncing with Exchange account and I was adding new contacts always to that exchange account.
Now I am using another one and I want to copy or move my contacts to the new exchange account.
How can I do that?

Try doing it on your pc and then sync on your phone. I'm not 100% sure but Microsoft Office Outlook might help.
I dont have access anymore to my old Exchange account so I typed in all my contacts in my Hotmail Outlook account. Contact pictures are missing which is redicilous but I hope that Microsoft will update its Live ID in the future.
Outlook also needs a Skype implementation and have to get rid of the old pager and other old stuff things.
Then it will be a solid way to sync contacts.
So you didn't find a way to do that easier? 'cause i need to to that, too.;(
are you using outlook hotmail connector?
How to transfer contacts from my Windows Live a/c to Android acc (gmail). I am purchasing an Android phone and selling off this Lumia 710. Or should I sync my Hotmail a/c in my Android phone. Will that do the job ?

Not sure you can add a Hotmail/Live account on an Android to sync it with the phone book.
It's easier just to import your hotmail contacts on your gmail account and start from there

How to import. Kindly help.
I think you actually can sync Hotmail / Windows Live to Android, but I haven't checked. In any case, there are a few ways to do the export/import; one of them is to sign into Hotmail and then find the option to export your contact list to a file. Then, sign into Gmail and find the equivalent option to import the file into your contacts. Any search engine, or the help pages for either site, can tell you how to do this.

He sounds kinda lazy,
anyway I think it is much easier to import everything straight from gmail:

In my opinion, Android UI is a mess, at least till Gingerbread v. 2.3, which is the most common distribution. Especially for what concern the phone book, you can add Facebook, Whatsapp, Skype, Viber etc accounts (can't find Hotmail account), and link them together (if it works!)
Hotmail contacts got Sync. Thank god. Heaving a sigh of relief. Thanks anyways guys ...

Install Outlook. com app and while entering your ID, make sure you check Sync Contacts option.

I used Phone Transfer downloaded from Recovery-Android.com to transfer contacts and messages from WinPhone to Android. All the content can be successfully transferred. Good transfer tool recommended.

That's a rip-off, the original one is on TransferPhone.com
You can use either Gmail or Outlook app to sync contacts between Android and Windows phone.
