O2 Xda Orbit 2, WM 6 Question

[martyp]

Hello all,

Just purchased one of these bad boys last weekend with a 4Gb SD card and TomTom Navigator 6, absolutely awesome. Going from a Motorola V3i to MS WM 6 has been interesting tho! :D

I am having one major issue so far tho. I had to swap SIM cards (as I was with Orange prior) and I typed in all of my contacts into the phone again - not the best way to spend an hour. When doing this I had a choice of Outlook contact or SIM contact. I choose Outlook so I could add e-mail addys etc.

Yestarday I synced the device with my laptop and to my horror I have lost all my contacts from the phone. Thankfully they appear in my Outlook contact list - I can't get them back to the phone tho!?!

Does anyone know how I can sync these back to the phone? They worked fine until I plugged in that damn USB cable yestarday! :devil:

Many thanks!

Iirc you have to save them to sim first then there should be an option to copy them over to outlook. Give it a go with just one number first and see if it works. :thumb:

Thanks for the super quick reply Matt!

Do you mean I will have to retype them all back into the phone again but save to the SIM instead of making them Outlook ones to begin with? I don't think I'm mentally capable of that! :wall:

The contacts I typed in have moved to Outlook on my lappy, so isn't there any way to transfer them back to the device that I'm missing? :confused:

Unfortunately yes you would need to do them one by one. Just try one first though just incase it doesnt work.

Thanks for the reply Matt, I will give it a go. :thumb:

I don't know how long it will be before I go insane tho! I should've read the manual I guess. :o

Ok, I did one and it did stay behind after syncing.

However, in Windows Mobile Device Centre I found a sync settings button where you could select what syncs etc. Contacts was unticked, so I tried ticking it (see attached IMG). Resynced and hey presto, there all back.

How glad am I! :D

Thanks again for your help on this issue!
