My Business partner is a confirmed Nokia fan but my recent experience has shown me just how far behind SE the Nokia software is!
The guy has a Nokia 6600 and upgraded to a Nokia 7610 so he wanted to transfer all his contacts between the two devices,

Congratulations Nokia, after much reading of both manuals I found it is actually impossible to do a bulk transfer of your contacts between the two devices using BT or Ir, you have to either; copy them all to the SIM (impossible as there were too many for the SIM) or move them one by one, how pathetic is that!

The only way I could see to do it is to have both devices synchronised with a pc running MS Outlook, which in this case was impossible as his PC has no IR port or BT Dongle for the 6600 (the 7610 comes with synch lead)

As these are both devices aimed at people who will use the PDA function, surely even Nokia must have figured out that at some time people will want to change or upgrade their phone. In addition, by doing so, may just want to transfer all their data? It made me quite smug when I showed him how I could transfer all my contacts from P60 to P900 in one simple action using BT

Moral of the story is simply Sony Ericsson build a better phone.

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. This message was posted from a T610

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.

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.
