How to back up phone contacts not saved on SIM?

4 replies · 2,452 views · Started 31 August 2008

Hi,

My N95 is pretty much dead now with teh screen giving up the ghost this week. I can still connect it to a TV and use it, so I know everything is working behind the scenes. I've got a new phone coming tomorrow and want to back up all my phone numbers, however when I do this I only seem to get the contacts that are saved on the SIM card copied over to the PC.

How can I get the nokia suite to sync contacts saved on both the SIM and Handset?

Also, once the contacts are in Nokia Suite, how can I copy those to another program (notepad or excel) to port over to my new phone?

Thanks,

DC

Is your new phone going to be a Nokia? Because if so there is an inbuilt application on all new Nokias called "Switch" that will copy over all content for you.

The new phone is a Samsung Omnia. I would have thought that there's a setting in the Nokia Suite to copy all contact over to the PC, not just those stored on the SIM. I'll have a play tomorrow, hopefully I'll manage to get all the number off.

What's zyb?
