Aaaah! This is one of the big mysteries of the P900. It appears that SE 'forgot' to put that feature in and thread after thread has complained and ×××××ed about it. The answer is probably 'can't do it' but if anyone figures it out, please, please post it here, sticky it and all cap the whole thing.

I agree. This seems to be a massive oversight, as my old SE phones used to allow you to copy TO the SIM or FROM the SIM...

I am still on a p800 myself, but I guess the mystery has made it to the next-gen.

Maybe some kind soul will come in here and yell at us for not using the 'SEARCH' feature,

then tell us how to do it...

Well I looked on my P910i (sorry don't have my P900 with me right now) and on the "Help" screen, it appears that to copy contacts to SIM, you have to do it ONE BY ONE!

Literally it says:

To copy contacts to SIM:
1. Select a contact.
2. Select Edit > Copy to SIM card to copy the selected entry.

Or just take a gander at my screen shot.

Talk about having a 800-900 dollar phone and no option to mass copy contacts over to the SIM! Sheesh! Oh well.. gotta live with the limitations, I guess.

Hope that clarifies your question.

i think its some limitation with symbian, because series 60 phones are the same way.

my sol'n for copying all entry to the sim right now is..

1. syn my p900 w/ outlook
2. syn my outlook w/ my Nokia 6800
3. use the nokia 6800 to syn all entries to the sim....

stupid method......but at least it saves u bunch of time by saving one by one... =______=
