Upgrading from WinMobile 6.1

[normkol]

I'll be getting my Captivate tonight, it's on the UPS truck.

What's the best way to transfer my data from my Blackjack II, running Win 6.1?

Will the Captivate read from the Outlook file?

I think you have to export contacts to a csv file from outlook then load them in google. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

As a long time window users - from the old pda days - you are correct. I did it by getting a gmail account and then importing the contacts to that.

Unfortunately gmail does not sync with Outlook 2010 [WTF Google they only had a beta for over six months available to everyone]

Buying the Captivate has been a love hate relationship. Love the display, speed, and the marketplace. Do not like no individual ring-tones, or the hoops to get the phone to connect via usb to my pc. Still have not got my ewallet to work yet.

Will give it another couple of weeks or I will wait four months for the HTC HD3 and go back to windows.

I found the easiest way was to sync the windows mobile with active sync to google. Then all your contacts were in the google contacts.

I just did this a couple nights ago and it worked great.

Google wouldnt properly import my CSV so I used Hassle-free Contacts Sync • Soocial to make a google friendly CSV.

Thanks for all the replies. I have Outlook 2003, so I probably won't have trouble syncing.

I exported the contacts from Outlook to a csv file, then imported them into my gmail account.

Then I synced my gmail account to the Captivate.

Voila! It worked like a charm.

Thanks for the help.
