Oh, and if you do have a Windows VM or something, the process is faster because you would only need to sink the contacts with Outlook and then use iTunes to sink the iPhone. The only inconvenient with that is that your phone might be formatted for use on a Mac, so the Windows version of iTunes might ask you to reformat it. If you don't have much stuff in there you can just do it, because a Windows formatted iPhone will work just fine with your Mac later...

Hi,

I asked this question once before and got a response that seemed like it made sense but a domination of pronouns made the process a bit ambiguous. Then I lost the email so couldn't go back to review it again.

To repeat the question:


All of my contacts are on my WindowsT-Mobile Mobile Dash phone. None of my contacts are on my iPhone. How can I get the contacts from point a to point b?

The originial message said to sync my Dash with "my computer" and then automatically sync my iPhone with my computer and all will be happy. So, I attached the Dash via USB to my MacBook and nothing happened. In Windows if one plugs in a new piece of hardware you get a message saying it is something it never saw before. My Macintosh just sat happily, silent as if nothing happened.

I do not have a Windows computer with me (remember when I was dubious about Apple, Mac and VoiceOver? Now I don't travel with a Windows box anymore.) so does anyone know how to get the contacts off of the WM phone and onto either my MacBook or iMac (yes, I do travel with two Macintoshes, an Airport Express, Time Capsule, one Nano and now my new iPhone - I guess I made the transition pretty dramatically)?

Nonetheless, what does one need to do to move contacts from WM to iPhone. If it's easier from Symbian, I have a Nokia N82 and can pop the WM SIMM card in there.

Happy Hacking,
