Address book and "contacts" help with 8900
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Alright, I'm pretty new here, but I'm trying to learn. I've hacked the verizon banners, and the camera sound stuff, and I know that with BitPim (RIP for 8900 development: Boo!!!) only the File System works, which I'm learning to use. So....

Is there a way to "upload" from my Address Book? I just want to get the names and phone numbers into it. I have a mac address book that can export vCards, and also Microsoft Entourage, if that helps.

I THINK it has something to do with "import cvs", but I don't really know the steps to use this, and don't want to kill my phone.

If this is a repost, sorry, please send me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Jim

Bump. I know, bad bad bad to bump your own thread. But there has GOT to be someone who knows how to load contact and phone numbers to the phone? Anyone?

The last thing I want to do it put all 200 contacts in by hand. That'll talk all day.

PC Sync TX 95C

that will get all your contacts onto your comp so you can import into outlook or w/e

What O/S are you running? If you have a Mac (you mentionned mac address book in your post), then you're out of luck. Bitpim is currently the Mac option and the project has recently officially stated they will not support the 8900.

If you have a Wintel box, check out my post on the latest software offerings (all about $30 US). You'll need a cable too (Available cheaply from several sources - search the forum for more information).

I'm on a mac, but I can get access to a wintel box, or run from Virtual PC. I've got the data cable btw. What's
W/E stand for?

Thanks for your help!

By the way, avoid the PCSync software from Curitel - it has caused the death of more than one 8900. For $30, just buy one of the commercial offerings from Susteen, FutureDial or Smith Micro.
