1 Importing contacts from Windows Mobile to Android {anchor:Importing contacts from Windows Mobile to Android} I've picked up a new Google {link:Android|http://www.android.com/} based {link:Samsung Moment|http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS346US347&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=samsung+moment} recently. The UI and functionality is a little different from the Windows Mobile phone we're used to but it's definitely a big improvement though the Mrs is still pissed that her long fingernails don't quite work on the touchscreen ( probably cuz it requires tactile feedback). As usual the phone company couldn't transfer the contacts from the Windows Mobile phone to the new Android phone. So I started googling around looking for solutions to this problem. Just when I was contemplating writing a custom app using as specified at:\\ http://pythonce.sourceforge.net/Wikka/PIMs I came across this really neat freeware program which exports the contacts into a csv file:\\ http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-thunderbird-contacts-export.html Then one can import them directly into gmail:\\ http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-thunderbird-contacts-export.html Works like a charm! I must say that the android phone has really blown me away with it's UI, features and most importantly integration with web based applications to access and update it's data ( gmail, calendar, etc). The icing on the cake is the fact that the SD card mounts just fine as a usb drive under Linux. The integration between the phone and the internet based apps is a dream compared to the nightmare than activesync was for the windows phones. 2009-11-04 13:40:00.307 2009-11-04 13:40:00.307
