[access-uk] Re: Backing up Contacts Etc From Nokia Mobile Phones

Hi Theresa,
 
Do you use Outlook?  If so, synchronise your old phone to Outlook, then
re-sync Outlook to the new phone.  I use Outlook to keep all my contacts,
and just synchronise.  You can't do this with Outlook Express as far as I
know, it would have to be Outlook proper.  The new phones are much easier to
set up with Bluetooth, than the 6600.
 
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Backing up Contacts Etc From Nokia Mobile Phones


Hi All
 
Until a month ago I had a Nokia 6600 phone.  I had entered in contact
information for lots of people and backed everything up to the memory card.
 
I've since had to replace the Nokia 6600 and now have a 6630.  This phone
has a different memory card to the 6600.  I was wondering how I could get
the information from my old phone to my new one, so copied the contents of
the old memory card on to my laptop and then back on to the new memory card.
The backup file was definitely there.
 
However, having put the new memory card in my 6630, it doesn't appear to
read the backup file that is on it.  The option to "Restore from card"
didn't show until I'd backed up data from the 6630 on to the memory card.  I
did a backup of the 6630 (I've entered in lots more contact information and
diary entries) and then restored it, to see if it would merge the two lots
of data on the card, but of course it didn't.
 
Does anyone know if there's a way of retrieving the data from my old memory
card?  I was never able to link my 6600 up to my computer because I didn't
have a data cable and was told by Nokia that there wasn't one for that
phone.  My attempts at linking up my phone and computer via Bluetooth failed
dismally.
 
Any thoughts gratefully received.
