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

Hi Theresa,
 
Well, either of those two options are rather slow and laborious.  (Tried
it between those particular phones and found out!)  Don't forget though
that you can at least "mark all" so perhaps you'd get away with
BlueTooth.

Hi Steve
 
I do use Outlook, and have started syncronising it with my new phone.  I
don't have a Bluetooth adaptor for my computer because the one I bought
just didn't work with my Nokia 6600.  I managed to pair the phone and
computer up, but it would never stay connected for long enough to do
anything.  The staff in the shop where I bought it didn't understand why
this was happening, so I exchanged the adaptor for another one, but with
no more success.  I took it back and got a refund.  A friend of mine
said she'd also had a lot of problems with Bluetooth - had bought
several adaptors which either worked once and never again or never at
all, then she bought one and it worked - but doesn't know what was
different.
 
Connecting the 6630 to the computer is so easy!!  I just have a problem
with the backup date from my own phone.  I've noticed that the backup on
the memory card is saved as an .arc file.  In the  Nokia PC Suite help,
under Nokia Content cCopier, it says that backup files are saved as .nfb
files - so I suspect this is the problem.
 
I'm coming to the conclusion that I'll just have to go through all the
phone numbers on my Braille Lite (where I copied them from in the first
place) and re-enter them all.  I did wonder about going through my old
phone and sending each contact to my new one as a business card, but I'm
told that wouldn't really be very practical if there are a lot of them.

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.
