Guest digidales Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Or sync the old device with outlook... then sync the new one with outlook! I've not got Outlook and have a similar problem. Coupla questions for a newbie pls! All contacts on old phone were on phone not SIM. Can't see them at all thru Nokia PC Suite to then copy them across to SPV. Any ideas? Tried copying across to SIM but can only get 200 on. Put that SIM into M3100 and tried to copy them, but instead of copying multiple numbers to a single contact, it has created a new contact for each one. Do I have to change each one manually back to a single 'card' for each person? Also, sometimes the names are surname, first name and others first name surname. How do I change that? Many thanks!

Can't see them at all thru Nokia PC Suite to then copy them across to SPV. Any ideas? Hmm, the only thing I can think of is that your Nokia (what model?) isn't connecting to PC Suite properly. Tried copying across to SIM but can only get 200 on. Put that SIM into M3100 and tried to copy them, but instead of copying multiple numbers to a single contact, it has created a new contact for each one.SIMs can only handle "one name, one number", so that's as good as you'll get that way Do I have to change each one manually back to a single 'card' for each person? Yep, you would, but it's a nightmare - you'd have to open each "Contact", copy the number, open the Contact you want to keep for that person, paste the number .... repeat until utterly frustrated. Also, sometimes the names are surname, first name and others first name surname. How do I change that? I'm not sure if you can change the "File As" setting on the device, but if you can it's likely that you'd have to manually edit the field in each Contact I'd recommend getting ActiveSync - it'l save you loads of time and hair-loss in your situation Edited January 31, 2007 by chucky.egg

I'm now on a PC with Outlook running and have managed to get all the contacts from my Nokia 6230 into Outlook. (Yippee!) I installed ActiveSync 4.2 and tried to sync the contacts from the PC onto the M3100. Some have got phone numbers and details but the majority just have names and no numbers at all. ARG! Additionally, many are now duplicated. How do I clear all the contacts off the M3100 and start again? And this time get all the numbers too from Outlook! Help! Thanks for your time.
Guest jimbouk Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I would hard reset the m3100 and then start over.
