Moving from C500 (orange) to JAM (Sim Free)

[Guest m80arm]

Hi All,

I see a lot of people moving from C500 to Jam - What's the best way to back everything up (Mainly contacts) I can move everything off the MINI SD fine.

At the moment I dont back up my contact - I only Sync my calander with my works laptop so I know what I'm doing day to day - but I dont want to overwrite my exisiting contact or transfere my laptop contacts to my mobile.

How can I backup my numbers so I can transfere then easily onto my JAM?

Thanks

One very excited soon to be JAM owner

What about saving to SIM ?

Do you not loose all the aditional information i.e. 1 name has numerous contact information such as mobile, work, home, E-mail blah blah blah

Move all your current contacts to a sub folder of your contacts folder. IIRC Activesync only syncs the root contacts folder...

I think this is a way of saving your C500 phone contacts to Outlook and then sync it with your new Jam.

In Outlook 2002 or above create a contacts sub-folder for your phone.

Download this Microsoft Outlook add-on, Pocket Contact Synchroniser from

Microsoft

Activate the Add-on in your phone sub-folder and sync with your C500 using ActiveSync.

One drawback is it does create your Phone sub-folder details in your main Outlook Contacts folder, but for easy syncing I find that OK.

Then when you get your shiny new Jam ( is the envy showing through :?: ), just repeat the sync...and your phone contacts from the C500 should be on your Jam.

The Add-on certainly works with C500s, because that's what I use. And I see no reason it won't work with a jam.

Hope that helps.

1. In Outlook, copy your contacts to a new contacts directory. (CTRL-Drag)

2. Delete your contacts in the main Outlok contacts folder

3. Sync with the C500

4. Move your C500 contacts to a third folder

5. Move the original contacts back to the main contacts folder.

6. Repeat in reverse with the JAM

Done - no downloads !
