transferring contacts, favorites, etc. to Diamond...

[marklyn]

Would I be correct in assuming that I can simply (pim)backup my pim.vol and favorites from my mogul, copy that up to my pc, then copy back down to my diamond and use pimbackup to restore those two?

Would it be that simple or is will the pim.vol file from the mogul work on the diamond?

i don't have the diamond but couldn't you just use pimbackup and backup to your internal storage and it'll stay there til you decide to format it?

You do not have Outlook on your computer with contacts to transfer to new phone?

you should give the microsoft live a shot. thats what i use, all i do is sign in with a hotmail account and sync. all of my contacts are automatically put on my ph. it has worked everytime for me.

I did the same thing and it transferred all my contacts from Live - about 400. However, I'm having difficulty keeping my hotmail updated. It initially grabbed all the emails on the setup but now it won't sync up new mail. Strange behavior because my contacts are updating in both directions. How does one get the hotmail "pushed" onto the Diamond.

If anyone has appropriate settings for me, much appreciated.

I'm having the same issue with hotmail not being sent to my diamond... I used to just use IMAP on SprintPCS mail but that's going away in December. The initial sync and test email worked great but I can't get it to sync new emails. Right now I have the sync schedule set to "As Items Arrive". I'm looking around now and will post again if I find anything

Edit: When I first posted, doing a send/receive wasn't getting the updated test messages I'd send to the account. Now I am able to get those messages when I do a manual sync, but if I don't sync the server won't push the message.

Edit 2: Did a soft reset, now push is working. I dunno, I just work here.

Yes, I'm noticing that the updating from Hotmail IS now working intermittently. I got rid of my Telus email and just working with hotmail and regular email now.... no problems.

ANOTHER QUESTION -PIM backup does a good job of backing up contacts.... but how does one backup Favorites in the TF3D tab and the Bookmarks in Opera.

Ok, so I FINALLY got my Diamond in. Now, this is a noob question, and I think I know the answer, but How do i get all my crap from my old phone to the new one?

Same way you would with any other windows based phone I would believe. Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista)
