Hi guys,

the similar threads didnt seem to hold the answers to this particular problem so here goes

ive upgraded from a Bold 9000 and when tried to transfer data via Bluetooth it kept failing so i had to store all my contacts to sim and then insert sim into DHD

when its done this it appears to have cut some letters of the end of some names and ont allow me to edit them to extend the names

anybody have a solution? thanks in advance

Kev
 
Have you tried importing your contacts onto the phone, & then try editing.
Not sure about the missing characters, i think SIMs have a limit on this sort of thing.
I think they're limited to the amount of fields they can have too. (eg if a number's stored in the fax number field say, that number might not have got copied across as it doesn't recognise that field)
