Transfer contacts from 755p to centro? - Treo Forum

tmord1 · 10-10-2008, 05:53 PM

Hi Everyone,
I have a strange question

. I have a 755p. My sister just got a centro and was unable to retrieve her 'contacts' from her old phone at the time of purchase. Is there any way that I can transfer my contacts folder to her centro so she can avoid having to type in all the contacts that we would have in common? We both have sd cards and cardexport...does anyone know if a transfer is possible. Also, I am not sure what the exact name for the contact file is and where I would find it if I could make the transfer.

Thanks!

Assuming you are using Windows and the Palm Desktop for hotsyncing, you can use the Import/Export feature in the Palm Desktop. From the Palm Desktop Export your contacts. Be sure to select the All button at the bottom of the screen or if you don't want all the contacts select just the ones you want to give to your sister and Export those. Make note of where you save the file. Then select your sister's device and Import the file you just saved to it. You can also do this with any Calendar or Memo entries you have. Once you have imported the files you want to your sister's device on the Palm Desktop then just hotsync her phone and the contacts will be transferred.

You can also beam or bluetooth them to each other, or as you implied, use Card Export to copy the db to the card and from the card to the other phone.
