Transfer of Contacts/Calendar w/o Internet/PC connection...

Hi all,

To make a long story short, I basically need to transfer contacts and calendar from a Samsung i700 (SD Card) to a Samsung i760 (microSD I believe) and I don't have internet on the phones and the phones will not sync to my PC (lets not get into that...long story short, remember). I need only basically those 2 items from the phone.

What I have thought of is backing up the PIM on the i760 then putting it on my computer through a card reader and using an adapter take the data to the i760 and using the same backup software, restore that file.

Here's my problem though (if you agree this is my best solution), the i760 will not see the .cab file for spb backup (which I tried to install for example to do the backup). Is there a reason? Does WM2003 not see cab files or was I maybe installing a version too new for the phone? Any other ideas? I saw an XML Contact backup utility before but then it skips over my calendar. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'd recommend using DotFred's PIM backup. You might have better luck installing his stuff than SPB's.

Good luck!

Silly question, but do you know if the i760 is 2003SE? I know it says version 4.0 in the about screen

No, the i760 runs WM6. Now, the i700 runs WM2002/2003. This is where your problem may lie. WM6 probably won't read anything created under 2002/2003.
