Is there any way to import contacts?
 

Like the title says, is there any way to import contacts? I know with WinMo you can use the pim file, and I always just use SPB Backup, but is there any way to get these from the memory card to the Android side? Or is there any way to upload online and access through Android?

There is a way! Transferring contacts from Windows Mobile contacts to a new OS has been a fairly common thing for a quite a while now. Here's how you do it.
1) Go here): http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDo...oad-70426.html (and download the program to your phone. (if the link dies, the program you're looking for it called Thunderbird Contacts Export)
2) Run the program, export your contacts to a file location you can find easily.
3) Put the file on your desktop.
4) Log into your Gmail account (if you don't have one, create one), and click on Contacts. Find the import button and then find your file that you put on your desktop.
5) Click import and wait. After a few moments they will show up on your Android OS.

*Note that if you already have a Gmail account and import your contacts, there will be lots of doubles and some work for you to go through organizing your contacts.

Hope that was helpful. :)

Hmm- is there a way to get it syncing contacts and calendar from Exchange OTA?

I'm planning on switching back and forth between Android and winMo... with a blackberry or Pre/WebOS device, this is easy- all devices constantly in sync. I found a way to sync exchange mail (they call it work mail), but surprisingly there seems to be very little support for exchange PIM. Or am I missing something??

Re: Is there any way to import contacts?
 

yes there is


set up a gmail account


set up exchange on activesync on pda

user: username@gmail.com
pw: gmail pw
server: m.google.com
domain: if required google, but just leave blank on 6.x
SSL = check
dont select tasks as gmail doesnt support the format

everything else will sync up for you

Have fun! and welcome to dual boot contact sync

BTW: this will not require a usb cable , a windows 7 pc or, any other hupla

Yea, google "google sync"

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (Windows Mobile; WCE; Opera Mobi/WMD-50369; U; en) Presto/2.4.13 Version/10.00)

Yea you can download Dashwire. It supports quite a few mobile OS's and all you have to do is sign up online one time and download to the phones you want synced and your set.

Yep, very easy to do:

Set up a gmail account, then open activesync in WM and sync it with your gmail account (tick contacts, calendar, etc).
Go into Android and sync it to that account.

Tada all your contacts are there.
