How to get contacts from PC to E90?

3 replies · 2,109 views · Started 07 January 2008

I have about 12000 contacts i need to get added to my phone. Ive tried the way that the 9300i could do it - but the E90 didnt want to "Mark All" "Copy - Paste" the same way.. so is there any other way?

12,000?!! Good grief! I don't think you should be clogging up your system with this number. IME it's a recipe for disaster - mine was struggling to work at any usable speed with ten times less than that, so I cut it down! I think you should try to store non-essential irregular contacts in some other kind of database - trouble is, that would mean going through all of them and manually filtering. Mmmm. I think you have a problem there! I also had a problem recently deleting them from S60 - it took my E90 3-4 hours to process the task for 500/600 contacts and I couldn't seem to get to the contacts DB like you can in S80 to just simply delete it.

Hello,

I'm sorry to tell you, but you have to think to organize your contact list. To keep that amount of contacts on your phone is not a good idea. I have an E90 too and i use it because i want to manage my business at any time, any place but i don't think that i could manage 12000 contact my self and a communicator would be the right tool to help me in that.
Since the old communicators and this new one already have a big support of internet based services I suggest you to instead of put that amount of contact on your phone, put them on the internet instead. Gmail for example. I know that it reduces the feeling of mobility but it's useful. I am sure that those contacts are as important for you as my business contacts. The E90 is a business phone, but it's not designed to handle that amount of contacts but only the very importants.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers,
