755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

I currently have the 755p from Sprint PCS, and I will be getting the HTC Touch Pro tomorrow afternoon, and I am wondering what is the easiest way to transfer my contacts and notes from the two phones.

Each phone has bluetooth, and can be synced with the desktop, but I didn't know if the file types were the same, if they were also mapped the same, ect.

If anybody has transferred their contacts and notes from a palm phone to a windows mobile device, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

That link has some info on the switch.

To sync the data between Palm and Outlook, you'll need the conduit: http://www.palm.com/us/support/outlooksupport.html

Then you can sync from Outlook to your WM PPC

That won't work. He's coming from the 755p, which is Palm OS based

Export your contacts as an .csv file then import them into outlook.

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

Actually it will work for contacts, Chapura's PocketMirror. It will sync your palm contacts with outlook and then you can sync that up with active sync to your TP.

I was referring to PPCPimBackup not working on a Palm OS device.

thanks

Syncing your Palm w/Outlook is definately the best and easiest way to do it. I have all the same info on my 755p and my Touch/Mogul/Touch Pro... all through outlook

If you use exchange, as I do at work, you don't really need to do anything. Exchange already synchronizes with your Treo to keep a copy of your contacts, calendar, notes, tasks and emails. It does this wirelessly. Once I set up ActiveSync on the TP, the TP copied all of the PIM info wirelessly in about 2 minutes.
So, hopefully you use Exchange!

i plan on getting a touch pro soon as well and i'm coming from a treo 755p, i see that outlook would work for contacts, but what about text messages...i have certain text message logs i want to copy over, any ideas?

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

Dahray, depending on the volume of them, why don't you just cut and paste them into an email? Easy enough to highlight and copy on a Treo.

i found a program that would let me put them on my desktop, now i'm trying to figure out what type of file WM 6.1 uses for text messages..is it csv?

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

Well, it can be. The actual messages are stored in a .PIM file. You can't view a folder in a file explorer that holds messages.

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

So are u saying there is no way to import my messages into WM even if its a csv file...the program for the palm lets me export into csv or xml...now i need to work on importing into the touch pro

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

From what I know, no. But I think there's a way.

.csv is a very common format so I honestly do think there's something I haven't heard of. Sorry that I can't be of more help.

alright thanks...i'm gonna keep researching for a lil while longer

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

I did that, and then undid that!

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

i just got my Touch pro today, i was able to sync my calendar and notes from outlook but not my contacts...any ideas? i'm coming from a treo 755p by tha way

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

i just noticed something....contacts is greyed out in activesync...why????

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

Make sure you make a sync one way to start it off. Make the phone sync with the desktop of vice versa.

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

i did that, outlook has all my contacts from my treo...but activesync wont let me check the contacts box

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
 

Did you go to control panel/ Windows Mobile Device Center?

Re: 755p to HTC Touch Pro
