How do I transfer numbers/contacts from Windows Mobile to Android?


I finally activated my Android phone and would like to import numbers / contacts to the new phone. I forgot to ask the store rep how to do this, but I figured since both of them can be hooked up to a computer, I can probably do it myself. I'm on a Windows platform. What's the best way to do this?



Answer



It's pretty easy, because your Android phone will sync to Google Contacts.





  1. Sync your Windows Mobile phone to your computer (outlook, outlook express, whatever you normally sync to)




  2. Export your contacts from there to a CSV. ( Go To file menu on the top left in the out look, click on Import and Export, click on Export file to, Click Next, click on Comma Separated Values (Windows), click on Next, click on Contacts, click on Browse Select drive and Folder Where you want to save file, click on Next.) You are DONE




  3. Use Google Contacts to import the CSV (import is in the upper right from http://google.com/contacts)





  4. Wait a couple minutes. All of your contacts will show up on your Android phone soon!
