So you first have to transfer it to the computer and then to the new phone??? That is so stupid, i knew Nokias are stupid phones but not that stupid
What is the use of bluetooth if it's not fully functional??

Did ur friend try to post in a Nokia forum to find solutions?It might not be possible thru bt but if u buy a cable and use a Nokia program,then u can do it.I know, it's more expensive, a lot of hassle and a shame for a ''smart''phone and a brand that call themselves professionals. That's the reason i never buy this brand.

Hi 701 I am sure you are correct and I thank you for pointing it out, but I was making the point that us SE users can do what is a basic requirement for any user for free and with no effort!
Whilst Nokia make it a task you cannot complete without spending loads of money and wasting valuable time
Cost of task with se $0
Cost of task with Nokia
Cable $10?
PC $1000?
Time $ who knows?
verdict = No Contest SE make better Phones

Its a piss easy process to do using BT, or a data cable. And not to sound funny but whats the point of having such a functional phone if you don't have a way to connect it to your computer (BT, IR, data cable)? To really get the most out of the symbain based Nokias you really NEED to have connectivtiy to your PC. I had no problems transfering contacts from my 6600 to my current Nokia. Its a shame people slate Nokia on these forums. I'm a fan of both companies.
Er well firstly you asume a lot! Who said the guy had a pc when he bought the phone? Who said it was his choice of phone? perhaps it was bought for him as he did not have a PC and someone thought it was simple way for him to get email and do a little surfing? I completly agree with you that you need a PC to get the best out of the Symbian Nokias! but why should such a basic task as doing a bulk transfer from one device to another require a PC? I do not need one to do it on my T610 I would love to hear how you do a bulk transfer of contacts between a 6600 and a 7610 using just BT, I read both manuals and could find no reference to it and not a single menu option to allow it to take place so please educate me as I would hate to be guilty of doing a fine company such as Nokia an injustice

it's not pathetic for just get a cheap generic data cable and a nokia data suite software which you can download almost anywhere. you can store a lot of contacts in a sim card if you have a 64k sim that can hold up to 500 entries or more. most cellphone service providers in asia have been using that sim for years now.
cingular and att wireless will be having the 64k sim when their merger is complete.
Yes but you are missing the point! we are back to "buy a cable" "buy a 64k SIM" "download the data suite" "buy a PC" I say pathetic because I can do the same "simple" task for nothing using a basic T160 and Bluetooth! "simple" I rest my case.
ps the words below are your choice and makes my case even better than I can!
something that is complex and sophisticated is not always the best and reliable. what is simple is better.

Or he could buy a Sony Ericson T610 or P900 and do it with the inbuilt free of charge systems that come as standard with SE phones couldnt he!!!! :-0 the question is not "if" it's "why" surely! :-0

@nitro fan
well using a cable is plain and simple to me and if you are living in asia a nokia cable there just cost brit pennies and the data suite cd comes with it. i really don't like using BT which is high tech, only IR which to me is better. i do not use it especially when i am outdoors for my phone may contract a virus. a friend of mine's 3650 got a virus for he always has his BT on.
oh well why bother when i gave my t616 to my wife and i downgraded to a mid class LG phone which is bug free. i love this phone... off to howard forums now.

are u gonna copy entire phonebook everyday? don't think so. Just connect your cable and copy. so what is the big issue?
but SE limitation of 500 numbers and searching by single character (basic functionality which u use everyday) - this is what i call major deficiencies.

I see no limit to 500 numbers on my P900 in fact I have over 500 contacts most of which have at least three numbers so lets say I have some 1200 numbers in my P900! I can search all 500 plus contacts using multiple characters or any criteria I can write in multiple fields!
Yet as a Sony Ericsson P900 owner I still do not have to resort to using a PC to perform such a basic function as moving all contacts from one phone to another no matter how frequently or infrequently I choose to do it!
So please, please, please show me how it is easier / more superior with a Nokia?
I have no hatred of Nokia phones indeed I have been for many years a happy Nokia owner and still use an 8210 as my pub phone (nice and small and simple to use when drunk!)
I simply pointed out what is clearly a glaring error in the functionality of the software used in the 6600 & 7160 symbian phones Nokia produce and I stand by the claim it is pathetic that a company such as Nokia ruin was is an “OK” device by such a glaring omission as bulk contact transfer without the need for a PC, lets also not forget this is a forum populated mainly by SE fans and as such Nokia are unlikely to get as warm a reception when their offerings are flawed.
