Re: contacts?

Here are instructions to sync your TP2 to hotmail.
Setup your phone to sync your Hotmail inbox, calendar and contacts using ActiveSync

Once you do that your WP7 will pull your information from your hotmail account. If you have duplicates you can join/merge them together in hotmail.

Also, even though there is not a "myphone" like before... www.windowsphone.live.com is pretty sweet. In there you can remotely lock your phone, remotely ring your phone (even if on silent), remotely wipe your phone, and remotely track where your phone is via GPS on any desktop. If you lose your phone you can lock it and ring it remotely and put a message on there giving instructions on who to call if found as well. And it is all FREE...

How are you getting your calendar on there? I tried sharing it with no luck, I tried importing it a a calendar file and only get 2 out of 200 entries imported.

I thought that works only if you saved your contacts as a messenger/outlook/live contact. So for those who used contact card, they won't sync right?

On a side note, hope you don't have office 2010 x64, Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 won't recognize Outlook x64.

Re: contacts?

So wait, if you have a tp2 synced with a win7 pc running office 2007, your not able to sync the Arrive/Win7 phones with active sync as normal?

I dont care bout emails, but contacts and calender events would be nice rather than having to setup and sync everthing thru hotmail acct! Is there no possible way to sync the traditional way??
